Recouping Financial losses of Necrotising Fasciitis Medical Negligence
Negligent medical management of a necrotising fasciitis infection can cause devastating consequences in a person's life. Contact a specialist solicitor to discuss the possibility of making a claim for compensation.
An entitlement to recover financial losses
If negligent medical care leaves you or a loved one suffering unanticipated symptoms and financial losses, you may be legally entitled to make a claim for compensation.
For example, if the consequences of negligent medical care have left you unable to work or restricted in the hours or type of work which you can access, you should be able to reclaim the loss of earnings, both past and future, where this applies.
Furthermore, if your symptoms require you to make significant alterations to your life, your home and necessitate specialist treatment, care or equipment, the associated costs can be included in a claim insofar as they have been caused by the substandard care.
Negligent medical care of necrotising fasciitis
Medical negligence in the management of a necrotising fasciitis infection can be utterly life-changing and leave an individual suffering significant physical and psychological damage, utterly undermining their long-term health and quality of life.
Necrotising fasciitis is a medical emergency. If medical professionals fail in their level of care, the patient is very likely to suffer. A delay in the initiation of treatment is likely to mean that the patient will become more ill, that the infection will have spread further through the body, requiring more extensive surgery than would otherwise have been the case, and resulting in greater deformity and disability. The patient is also at a greater risk of dying from this appalling infection.
The long-term implications can be wide-ranging, extremely difficult to manage and financially devastating.
Examples of negligent medical care could include a failure to recognise or suspect the possible symptoms of a necrotising fasciitis infection, a failure to make a referral for specialist assessment or a delay in doing so, a failure of safety-netting and a delay in diagnosis and the initiation of treatment.
