Clinical Negligence Solicitors and Necrotising Fasciitis Negligence
Contact a specialist solicitor if you or a loved one are struggling with the consequences of negligent medical care of a necrotising fasciitis infection.
Medical negligence compensation claims
If you have been the victim of negligent healthcare in relation to necrotising fasciitis, you may be suffering some very severe and disabling consequences. In these circumstances, it may be appropriate to make a claim for compensation for the impact which the negligence has had on your health and quality of life.
A successful claim addresses not just your pain and suffering, but also incorporates the financial losses insofar as they have been caused by the negligence which you have suffered. For example, if the consequences of the negligence have left you unable to work or restricted in the hours or nature of employment which you can manage, a claim would include the associated losses.
In addition, if your unexpected symptoms have left you requiring personal care, these costs would be incorporated into a claim.
Necrotising fasciitis consequences
Necrotising fasciitis is a debilitating illness, causing the decay of the infected tissue and necessitating extensive tissue debridement. The patient may find themselves with deformity and disability, affecting their ability to work, to live independently in their own home, to travel and to undertake many of the activities which they may have associated with their life prior to the negligence.
Not surprisingly, the psychological consequences of necrotising fasciitis can be significant. Where medical negligence is thought to have played a role, this can be additionally hard to come to terms with and a successful compensation claim can help the patient to feel that their difficulties have been recognised and the negligence acknowledged.
Necrotising fasciitis negligence
A necrotising fasciitis infection is regarded as a medical emergency. Without prompt treatment the patient may die as this appalling illness is associated with a high mortality rate.
Consequently, diagnosis at the earliest possible moment followed by emergency surgery is essential to the best possible patient outcome.
Negligence therefore may relate to the diagnosis process and failures by medical professionals which result in a delay. This could be a failure to suspect this soft-tissue infection, a failure to examine the patient or refer for specialist investigation. It may also relate to a delay in initiating treatment.
