Necrotizing fasciitis lawsuit UK
In the USA, medical negligence is called ‘medical malpractice’ and legal claims are referred to as ‘lawsuits’.
In the UK, medical negligence is called ‘clinical negligence’ and the litigation process is referred to as a ‘clinical negligence claim’ or ‘medical negligence claim’.
Medical negligence claims can arise for many reasons, most often because doctors have failed to diagnose and treat a condition in a timely manner, causing a patient harm.
Necrotising fasciitis can fall into this category. It is a rare infection but clinicians should be able to diagnose a soft tissue infection without trouble.
Sadly this does not always happen and patients with necrotising fasciitis remain undiagnosed and untreated.
Necrotising fasciitis is an aggressive infection and will be fatal if not treated quickly enough. There is a small window of opportunity to provide treatment as death can occur within days of the onset of infection.
If medical practitioners fail to diagnose and treat necrotising fasciitis in a reasonable amount of time, there could be grounds for a legal claim.
Professional legal advice
It is not always clear whether or not there has been an incident of medical negligence, particularly as the doctor or hospital will not necessarily advise the patient that legal action is possible.
If you suspect that you, or your loved one, has been wrongfully harm because of substandard medical care, you need to speak to a clinical negligence lawyer.
A lawyer who deals with clinical negligence claims will be able to tell you whether you can claim. If so, you do not have to take any further action if you do not want to.
But if you would like to proceed with a medical negligence claim, your lawyer will handle the process for you, obtaining compensation on your behalf.
