Challenging the Medical Care of Your Necrotising Fasciitis Infection
Speak to a medical negligence solicitor if you suspect that the medical management of your necrotising fasciitis infection was substandard.
Medical management of a necrotising fasciitis infection
The best outcome from an episode of necrotising fasciitis relies on competent and timely medical care.
This appalling, virulent and disabling infection requires prompt recognition, or suspicion, of symptoms, a prompt referral for specialist investigation and, where diagnosis is confirmed, emergency and effective medical intervention in the form of surgical debridement of all infected tissue.
If you or a loved one believe that your long-term outcome from this shocking infection could have been much better with timely and appropriate medical care, speak to a medical negligence solicitor who will be able to investigate the quality of your medical care.
Challenging your medical care
Having obtained copies of your medical records, your solicitor will, with the input of the best medical experts, analyse the quality of your care for signs of negligence including the following:
- A failure of examination
- A failure to recognise possible necrotising fasciitis symptoms
- A failure to seek specialist advice
- A failure to make an appropriate and timely referral
- A failure to initiate antibiotic and surgical treatment within an appropriate timeframe
If it is established that the medical care of your infection was, in some way, substandard and that it has contributed to you suffering a poor long-term outcome, talk to a legal specialist about the possibility of making a claim for compensation.
Making a claim for compensation
A successful claim will recognise the financial impact of your poor care as well as your pain and suffering.
The long-term disability caused by necrotising fasciitis can be life-changing and reduce a person’s ability to work as well as sometimes necessitating some degree of personal support or equipment.
It can undermine their long-term health, often causing debilitating psychological distress also.
The associated financial losses, such as a loss of earnings, can be considerable and a claim for compensation would incorporate those losses.
