If you or your loved one has come to harm because of substandard medical care, you need to speak to a medical negligence solicitor today.
Necrotising fasciitis claims
Medical negligence claims can relate to a wide-range of medical issues, from psychiatric care to a fractured bone. As long as there has been a breach of duty on the part of medical practitioners, and this has caused a patient to suffer wrongful injury, there will be grounds for a claim.
Whatever type of medical negligence you or your loved one has experienced, it is vital you speak to a specialist solicitor about the care provided. This is especially true with necrotising fasciitis claims, as this is a relatively uncommon area of litigation which carries a number of complex issues.
Necrotising fasciitis claims often occur due to a failure to diagnose and treat the condition in a timely fashion. Any delay can have devastating consequences as it is an aggressive bacterial infection that can quickly cause a large area of tissue to die.
It can also spread to the bloodstream resulting in septic shock and organ failure, something which will make a patient critically unwell, and may even be fatal.
Necrotising fasciitis solicitors
If you suspect that the standard of care provided by medical practitioners fell below an acceptable level, resulting in necrotising fasciitis complications, you need to speak to a specialist solicitor as soon as possible.
Medical negligence claims must be made within three years of the event, so it is best not to delay when seeking legal advice. When you contact a solicitor, you will be asked about the details of the care provided and the injuries sustained.
Once all the necessary information has been collected from you, the solicitor will be able to suggest whether or not you are able to pursue a claim. If your loved one has lost capacity or has died since the negligence occurred, you will be entitled to pursue a claim on his/her behalf.
Necrotising fasciitis compensation
If your claim is successful, you will be awarded a sum of compensation that reflects the injuries you have wrongfully endured. This includes redress for the physical/emotional pain and suffering endured, and the financial losses incurred. Although this will not undo the often life-changing consequences of necrotising fasciitis, it will provide some form of justice, and will ensure you have financial support over the years to come.
