Amputation Compensation and Necrotising Fasciitis Medical Negligence
To start with an infection in what may be a small cut or incision and to end with the need for one or more full or partial amputations is utterly shocking. It can devastate the life of the individual affected as well as that of their family.
If negligent medical care has played a part in this shocking scenario, a successful compensation claim can not only provide some financial redress but can give the patient a sense that their injury has been recognised and that justice has been done.
If you or a loved one are struggling with the horror of amputation following necrotising fasciitis negligence, contact Glynns Solicitors to talk about the possibility of making a claim for compensation.
The impact of an amputation
Amputation of a limb is not only physically shocking but can affect almost every aspect of life. A once-healthy individual may find that they are struggling to work and to remain independent. They may become reliant on care and support to carry out normal household and personal tasks. They may need the support of family and friends to manage on a daily basis. They may no longer be able to navigate safely around their own home and may require adaptations to the home in order to ease the difficulties of everyday life.
Where this distressing outcome is the result of negligent medical care, a successful compensation claim can help to make life easier.
Medical negligence and necrotising fasciitis
Necrotising fasciitis requires emergency diagnosis and surgery to prevent the further spread of this disabling infection. Symptoms of intense pain, swelling, and discolouration should prompt concerns as to a soft-tissue infection and may necessitate a referral for specialist investigation.
A failure to examine the patient, a failure to recognise the possible symptoms and a delay in making an appropriate referral may all cause devastating results and may justify a claim for medical negligence compensation.
