Necrotising Fasciitis After an Operation – Can I Make a Claim?
Talk to a specialist solicitor about making a claim for compensation if negligent care of a necrotising fasciitis infection has left you struggling with disability.
Post-operative necrotising fasciitis
Necrotising fasciitis is a horrific soft-tissue infection which can access the body through a surgical incision. Every possible preventative and post-operative action should be taken to ensure that a patient does not develop this illness after surgery.
If they do, immediate action is essential to limit the impact.
It may be possible to claim compensation for the impact and its financial implications.
Appropriate medical care of a surgical patient in relation to infection could include the following:
- Prophylactic antibiotics where appropriate
- Risk assessment of the patient
- Post-operative monitoring for signs of infection
- A prompt response to signs of soft-tissue infection
- Specialist intervention referral
The right to compensation
If a patient suffers a worse outcome than should have been the case because their medical care was in some way substandard or negligent, they are legally entitled to claim compensation for the impact of that negligence.
Medical diagnosis and prompt antibiotic care and surgery are needed urgently to prevent the patient from suffering a shocking outcome from a necrotising fasciitis infection.
If a delay in care or an act of negligent care leads to a poor outcome, the patient should talk to a medical negligence solicitor about making a claim for compensation.
Speak to a legal specialist
If you are considering making a claim for compensation, it is essential that you talk to a solicitor who specialises in medical negligence law.
The development and impact of a necrotising fasciitis infection can vary considerably and a specialist solicitor is crucial in investigating the quality of your medical care and the impact which any negligence has had on your health, well-being and quality of life.
They will have access to the best medical experts, the best barristers and will be able to thoroughly assess the financial losses which any negligence has caused you.
Their expertise and experience will ensure that you achieve the best and fairest settlement of your claim.
