Legal Specialists in Necrotising Fasciitis Medical Negligence Compensation
The potential disability and life-changing consequences of medical negligence in relation to necrotising fasciitis can be shocking. If this is the result of negligent medical care, you will need a legal specialist to investigate your claim, support you through this complex process and negotiate the best settlement on your behalf.
Necrotising fasciitis impact
Depending on the location of the infection, its spread through the body and the effectiveness of any medical intervention, the outcome from a necrotising fasciitis infection can vary considerably.
Scarring and tissue loss are inevitable as the only response to this life-threatening soft-tissue infection is the removal of all affected tissue.
For some patients, however, the outcome is truly appalling and can involve the loss of large areas of tissue, a compromised bowel function, the loss of a limb, reduced sexual function and damaged organs. The psychological impact of this terrifying and fast-moving illness can also be devastating.
The need for a legal specialist
Making a claim for compensation for such a complex illness really requires the knowledge, experience and negotiating skills of a legal specialist alongside the analytical skills and expertise of the best medical experts.
The complexity of the condition in its myriad forms, the influence of negligent medical care and an assessment of the potentially wide-ranging impact on the patient and their quality of life requires scrupulous attention to detail.
Compensation claims are associated with strict deadlines and strict processes and a failure to adhere to these may mean that your claim is lost. Do not risk the success of your claim by failing to engage an experienced specialist.
Making a claim
In the first instance, your solicitor will obtain copies of your medical records and analyse the quality of your care with the support of medical experts. They will also need you to provide a witness statement relating to your experience.
If it appears that you have, indeed, been the victim of negligent care, a further assessment of the ways in which you and your quality of life have been affected will be undertaken in order to calculate the value of your claim. This may include a loss of income as well as additional costs such as the cost of equipment, treatment or care.
