Medical Claims Online - Hospital Infection Claims
This is an extremely controversial area at present and has been given extensive news coverage.
Our Panel Members can advise you if you believe you or a loved one have been the victim of poor medical treatment.
There have been many deaths or serious injuries as a result of hospital acquired infections. Poor hygiene in hospitals is often blamed for these infections.
Often Hospital acquired infections will have significant effects on the victim. For example, a person may be left disabled as a result. Many hospital infections will result in death, particularly in the elderly.
Most hospital infection claims will arise due to a delay in diagnosing the infection or poor treatment following diagnosis.
The problem facing hospital infection claims throughout the UK is the relative prevalence of the infections within the community. Often, it is not possible to pinpoint when a person has developed such an infection. People within the community often carry the bacteria that cause MRSA or C. Difficile without it causing them any harm. It is often the case that due to the initial illness a patient will become more susceptible to these infections. However, your Lawyer may look at the hospital’s infection rate, together with their protocols (and the government’s) when assessing your claim.
Our Lawyers often advise in relation to these types of claims. Hospital acquired infections include:
·MRSA
·MSSA
