Pseudomonas Medical Negligence and Compensation Claims
Negligent medical care relating to a pseudomonas infection, whether in terms of prevention, diagnosis or treatment, may justify a claim for compensation.
Pseudomonas infection
A pseudomonas infection can be a very unpleasant experience indeed. Not only is it difficult to treat and potentially life-threatening, but hospital patients, such as those with a weakened immune system or suffering from cancer, can be particularly susceptible to it. Unfortunately, it can occasionally be transmitted to a patient through the equipment used in the course of surgical procedures.
A patient who develops a pseudomonas infection may face an extended stay in hospital undergoing treatment and may also suffer debilitating long-term effects as a result of the infection. The infection may lead to a wide range of distressing conditions including pneumonia or it can trigger sepsis, both of which can prove fatal. As a result, the patient may struggle to return to work and experience a loss of income as a result.
Medical care of a pseudomonas infection
Consequently, there is considerable emphasis on the need for medical professionals to ensure that the risk of this debilitating infection are minimised, that any symptoms are investigated promptly and treatment initiated immediately where necessary.
If a patient develops a pseudomonas infection in hospital because of a substandard level of care, whether in terms of prevention, diagnosis or treatment, it might be appropriate to make a claim for compensation.
Where a patient suffers long-term disability or debilitating effects due to substandard medical care, they are legally entitled to make a claim for compensation. A successful compensation claim would take account not only of the patient's pain and suffering but also any financial losses caused by their negligent care. This would include loss of income due to illness as well as the costs of care where appropriate.
Making a claim for compensation
Compensation claims for medical negligence are extremely complex and require the skills and experience of a specialist medical negligence solicitor. An expert in this field of law will not only be able to access the best medical experts who will analyse your medical records, judge the quality of your care and assess the validity of your claim, but will also be in the best position to argue your case and calculate the value of your claim.
