Making a Necrotising Fasciitis Compensation Claim
Contact a medical negligence legal specialist if you or a loved one have been the victim of negligent medical care of necrotising fasciitis.
When to make a claim
As a general rule, a patient is legally entitled to claim compensation for medical negligence if the quality of their medical care has left them struggling with debilitating symptoms which they would not have experienced had they received an appropriate level of care.
If it is apparent that the patient has experienced substandard care of their necrotising fasciitis infection and that they have suffered as a result of that negligence, it may be possible to make a claim.
It is important to bear in mind that medical negligence compensation claims are associated with a three year deadline from the date of the alleged negligence so don't delay before contacting a specialist solicitor as they will need plenty of time to investigate the quality of your case.
What is negligent medical care in necrotising fasciitis?
Medical professionals may be regarded as having been negligent in their care of a patient with necrotising fasciitis for a number of reasons including the following:
- A failure of examination leading to a misdiagnosis
- A failure to recognise or suspect the symptoms which might indicate a necrotising fasciitis infection
- A delay in making a referral for specialist investigation
- A delay in initiating treatment
Necrotising fasciitis is a medical emergency and failings on the part of medical professionals which cause a delay in appropriate treatment may well leave the patient suffering a far worse outcome than should have been the case.
Such circumstances may justify a claim for compensation for the impact of the negligence on the health and quality of life of the patient.
How to make a claim
If you suspect that either you or a loved one have been the victim of negligent medical care of necrotising fasciitis, you need to speak to a medical negligence legal specialist.
They will be able to obtain copies of your medical records and investigate the quality of your care with a view to determining whether or not you are entitled to make a claim.
If it appears to be the case that you have suffered negligent care, they will assess the financial losses which the negligence has caused in order to quantify your claim.
