How to Claim Compensation for Negligent Necrotising Fasciitis Disability
If you or a family member have been the victim of negligent medical care of necrotising fasciitis, it may be appropriate to make a claim for compensation.
Necrotising fasciitis negligence and compensation
If substandard medical care leaves a patient suffering worse long-term outcome than would have been the case with an acceptable level of care, the law entitles them to make a claim for compensation.
A medical negligence compensation claim will take account of the pain, suffering and financial consequences of the negligent care, such as loss of income due to disability.
If you are considering making a claim for compensation, it would be advisable to obtain the services of a specialist medical negligence lawyer. This will ensure you receive the greatest expertise in this complex field of law, as well as providing access to the most respected medical experts who will be able to assess the validity of your claim.
It is also important to bear in mind that claims for compensation for negligent medical care must be initiated within three years of the date of the alleged negligence. There are occasionally circumstances where this date can be extended but it is best to obtain expert advice as soon as possible to ensure you give your claim the best chance of success.
Medical negligence and necrotising fasciitis
Necrotising fasciitis is a medical emergency. As a virulent infection, it can spread through the body quickly and can cause the death of the patient within a few days. Even those patients who survive are likely to suffer some degree of scarring, deformity or disability which will be minimised with the promptest treatment.
If medical professionals delay in recognising the symptoms, investigating the symptoms or commencing treatment, they may be regarded as having provided substandard care. A claim for compensation may be an appropriate route to gaining a sense of justice and recompense for financial and physical losses.
The key to a good outcome is a willingness on the part of the medical professional to refer a patient for specialist assessment as promptly as possible. A failure to act may leave the patient suffering severe consequences.
