Delayed Specialist Care and Compensation for Necrotising Fasciitis Negligence
Speak to legal specialist as soon as possible if you or a loved one have suffered due to a delay in recognising the symptoms of necrotising fasciitis.
Delayed specialist care in necrotising fasciitis medical management
An emergency referral for a patient who is developing necrotising fasciitis can mean the difference between recovery and permanent disability. It may also mean the difference between the patient's survival and their untimely death.
Delayed specialist investigation and treatment can allow this appalling and disabling infection to wreak devastation upon the patient's body and utterly undermine their long-term health and quality of life.
If a medical professional suspects that their patient is developing this shocking soft-tissue infection, an emergency referral may save their life.
If, on the other hand, a medical professional fails to spot the signs, fails to understand the urgency of the patient's situation or fails to make an appropriate referral, the patient will suffer the consequences.
When to claim compensation
If you or a loved one have suffered due to a delay in referring for specialist care for necrotising fasciitis, it may be possible to make a claim for the impact of that delay on the life of the patient or their loved ones.
A necrotising fasciitis infection can leave a patient disabled and struggling both physically and emotionally to deal with the consequences.
Often commencing in the limbs or the abdomen or, in the case of fournier's gangrene, in the perineum, the patient can suffer a significant loss of tissue to the extent of losing part of a limb or suffering organ damage and bowel damage.
If the patient's poor outcome has been contributed to by negligent delays on the part of a medical professional, a successful compensation claim can address the horrifying impact. This can include a loss of earnings or the costs of care or treatment.
Remember to contact a legal specialist at the earliest moment to ensure that all legal deadlines are met.
