Quality of Life Compensation for Necrotising Fasciitis Medical Negligence
Negligent medical care at its worst has the capacity to overturn an individual's quality of life, destroying their confidence and rendering them unable to work. The physical, practical and psychological impact of negligence in relation to necrotising fasciitis can be particularly shocking.
If you or a loved one are struggling with the impact of necrotising fasciitis due to delays in medical care, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation which could help to address some of the many and varied consequences.
The impact of necrotising fasciitis and the need for timely medical care
Necrotising fasciitis is sometimes referred to as 'the flesh-eating disease' due to the fact that the bacteria cause the decay and death of all the body's tissue which becomes infected. Given that this is a particularly virulent infection, its spread can increase rapidly, causing greater and greater destruction to the patient's body.
An urgent diagnosis is absolutely vital. Any delay will allow a deterioration in the patient's condition and the only treatment which can halt this appalling infection is the removal of all relevant tissue. Every delay and every increase in infection will mean a greater loss of the body's tissue both through infection and through surgical debridement.
A delay in recognition, referral, diagnosis and treatment can all lead to a very poor outcome indeed. The patient may suffer deformity, disability and limb loss.
The impact on their quality of life and that of their loved ones can be utterly devastating. They may no longer be able to work. They may be reliant on care and may not even be able to navigate safely around their own home, requiring significant alterations to be carried out.
The psychological impact and the adjustment necessary to come to terms with their altered quality of life can be extremely challenging.
