Questioning Care and Claiming Compensation for Necrotising Fasciitis
The physical and psychological outcome from a necrotising fasciitis infection can be utterly devastating. Where it is found that negligent medical care has contributed to this situation, a successful compensation claim can help the patient address their many challenges.
Questioning the quality of your care
Necrotising fasciitis is a medical emergency. Not only does this appalling infection travel swiftly through the body and not only can it cause significant physical deformity, it also has the potential to bring about the death of the patient.
If you or a loved one are struggling with the distressing consequences of this shocking illness and suspect that the medical care of your infection was substandard, speak to a medical negligence legal specialist to investigate the quality of your care.
Your specialist solicitor will obtain copies of all your relevant medical records and employ the services of the most respected medical experts in order to analyse the quality of your care thoroughly.
They will check to see if there has been any incidence of negligence or substandard care and, if so, if it affected your long-term outcome from this terrible infection.
Assessing the impact on you
If it is found that negligent medical care has, indeed, adversely affected your outcome and is causing you to suffer symptoms, difficulties and financial losses which would not have been the case but for the negligence, your solicitor will assess the financial consequences.
A successful claim will look at all the ways in which the negligence has affected your quality of life and the associated financial impact. This may include a loss of earnings if you are now struggling to work because of the damage which this infection has caused. For example, necrotising fasciitis can cause severe physical damage, even to the extent of an amputation, as well as causing significant psychological damage. Working effectively may be a struggle.
If you now require specialist equipment or some degree of personal care to help you manage your symptoms, the associated costs can be included in your claim insofar as they have been caused by the negligent care.
