Infectious diseases and sepsis claims

Infections can have serious consequences if treatment is delayed due to the failure of doctors, nurses or surgeons to make a timely diagnosis. It is vital for all infections to be diagnosed early to avoid complications, as if left untreated they could lead to septicaemia which could make you extremely unwell. 

Sepsis, also known as septicemia, is a very serious form of infection in the blood. Serious infection and sepsis can result in long lasting physical and psychological injury. It can also cause post-sepsis syndrome with its risk of recurring infections.

Unfortunately if you develop sepsis and infection as a result of medical professionals failing to diagnose an infection in time for effective treatment with medication or surgery, this could result in serious injury with long term effects. You may then have a claim. 

If you think you have suffered injury as a result of infection or sepsis, you need to speak to our legal experts who have vast experience in dealing with this type of injury. We can support you on making a claim and guide you through the complex legal system, providing you with the best possible advice in this stressful time.

For some initial advice, you can always get in contact with us and speak to one of our experienced solicitors. This initial consultation will be free and we’ll look at the case for you, then advise you on the best next steps so that you can decide on what you want to do. 

You need not worry about how you will fund a claim. If we feel that you have a viable claim then it is likely that we will take your case on a no-win no fee basis. This means that you will only pay legal costs if you receive compensation and most of those costs will be covered by your opponent. If your claim is unsuccessful you will not have to pay anything.
