Getting Compensation for Necrotising Fasciitis Disability
If the medical management of your necrotising fasciitis infection was substandard, leaving you to struggle with significant disability and symptoms, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation. Contact a specialist solicitor.
Responding to a necrotising fasciitis infection
Without prompt, knowledgeable and effective medical care, a necrotising fasciitis infection can be severely disabling. In the most extreme cases, the patient may even suffer a limb amputation.
As well as deformity and scarring, the psychological impact of suffering this life-threatening illness can be highly distressing, undermining your ability to work and manage everyday activities.
If medical negligence has played a role in the severity of the patient's experience, it may be possible to claim compensation for the impact of this shocking illness.
Negligence in the care of necrotising fasciitis
Necrotising fasciitis is a medical emergency. Any delay in diagnosis or treatment can worsen the patient's long-term outcome.
If medical professionals cause a delay, they may be regarded as having been negligent and it may be appropriate to claim compensation for the consequences.
A delay may be due to a failure of assessment and examination, a failure to recognise the significance of the patient's symptoms or the urgency of their situation. It may be a delay in initiating treatment or applying incorrect treatment.
An act of negligence such as these can occur in the GP surgery or in Accident and Emergency. If it causes a poor patient outcome, it may be possible to make a claim.
Getting compensation
In order to make a claim for compensation, it is necessary to engage the services of a specialist solicitor. They will be able to carry out an assessment of your medical care, identify whether or not you have been the victim of negligence, and, if so, assess the impact of the negligence on your quality of life.
Be aware that compensation claims are associated with a three-year deadline from the date of the alleged negligence so do not delay in talking to a solicitor. Their investigations into your medical care can be time-consuming and it is vital not to miss the deadline.
