Hospital Infection Claims
Medical Negligence Claims: Hospital Infection Claims
This is a controversial area which regularly receives media coverage.
There have been many deaths or serious injuries as a result of hospital acquired infections. It is often noted in these case that there was a general poor standard of hygiene at the hospital concerned.
Our Medical Lawyers often advise in relation to Hospital Infection Claims. Hospital acquired infections include:
•C Difficile
•MRSA
•MSSA
Despite the media attention, hospital infection claims are extremely difficult and are very rarely successful.
Areas of expertise
Due to the prevalence of ‘hospital acquired infections’ within the community it is often difficult to pinpoint whether the infection was in fact contracted whilst the patient was in hospital or whether, as is usually the case, the infection was carried on the patient’s skin prior to admission.
Most successful hospital infection claims involve allegations of a delay in diagnosis or treatment rather than allegations that contraction of the infection was negligent.
Our Medical Lawyers can advise you if you believe you or a loved one have developed a hospital acquired infection due to poor medical treatment.
Our Medical Lawyers are able to conduct your claim on a No Win No Fee basis, or, in qualifying cases, with the benefit of Public Funding (formerly Legal Aid).
