How to Start a Necrotising Fasciitis Medical Negligence Compensation Claim
Medical negligence compensation claims are complex. Speak to a specialist for the best advice.
Medical negligence claims
If you think that you or a loved one may be entitled to make a claim for negligent medical care of a necrotising fasciitis infection, your first step should be to speak with a specialist solicitor. They will be able to advise you not only as to whether or not you may have a valid claim but will support you every step of the way through this complicated process.
In the first instance, you need to be aware that claims for compensation for negligent medical care are associated with a three-year deadline. Although this can sometimes be extended, it is advisable to speak to a legal expert at the earliest possible moment in order to ensure that you do not miss the deadline.
Your solicitor will want to ask you for as much detail as possible about your recollection of your experience so you may wish to spend some time recalling dates, symptoms and events to the best of your ability. It would be helpful to have to hand details of the GP surgery, hospital or other facilities that have played a part in your care, whether or not you consider them to have been the negligent party.
A specialist solicitor will obtain your medical records on your behalf and carry out an investigation into the quality of your care, employing the best medical experts to assess whether or not you have been the victim of negligence.
It may also prove necessary to consider the ways in which any negligence has affected you, your lifestyle and your future and, for this, you may need to attend a variety of medical appointments.
