In cases where doctors missed sepsis signs and symptoms, the consequences can be absolutely devastating, and life-threatening.
Legal advice about your options for claiming medical negligence compensation is therefore incredibly important. Especially when you consider the lifelong impact that may be involved due to complications of things like blood poisoning being missed in the first place.
Here’s some advice about your options for justice and making a legal case with us on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Where doctors missed sepsis…
It’s never nice to have to make a claim for medical negligence compensation. But in cases where doctors missed sepsis signs and symptoms, and the complications are severe, it can be your only option for justice.
It’s a ticking time-bomb, so where medical staff have missed sepsis, it’s a race against time. A claim can be even more prominent in cases involving infants and children.
If this has happened to you or someone you know, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
What can you claim for?
In cases where doctors missed sepsis, you can claim for any further suffering and complications that can arise.
As many as 50% of people can be left with post-sepsis syndrome, which can cause severe physical and psychological problems. You can be left with severe organ damage, which includes the lungs and the heart. Victims can suffer from regular nightmares and hallucinations, as well as insomnia too.
Having to suffer such horrendous complications through no fault of your own simply isn’t fair. You can claim General Damages for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused, and you can also claim Special Damages to account for any losses and expenses.
In some cases, people’s careers can be left in jeopardy, so we have to take this into account as well.
