Sepsis Misdiagnosis

If your sepsis was misdiagnosed or wasn’t picked up at the earliest possible opportunity, we could help you make a sepsis misdiagnosis medical negligence claim.

Due to the devastating nature of sepsis, detecting the disease as early as possible can be very important. If medical mistakes prevented early detection or allowed your symptoms to develop, we could help you make a claim for medical negligence.

If you or your loved one has experienced a sepsis misdiagnosis or a delayed diagnosis of sepsis, our specialist lawyers are here to get you the answers you deserve and to make sure that the same mistakes don’t happen to others in the future.

We could help you make a claim if:

Medical professionals failed to reach a correct diagnosis
You experienced delays before receiving the necessary treatment, usually by way of antibiotics
Your GP failed to recognise the early stages of sepsis and should have referred you to hospital
Your referral to hospital after being diagnosed was delayed

The above factors may have meant that your symptoms became more severe, leading to potentially permanent injuries and even death in some cases.

By making a sepsis negligence claim, we could help you secure compensation which would allow you to access expert care and rehabilitation to meet your ongoing and future needs. Compensation could also provide support if your loved one has sadly died as a result of sepsis.

Our medical negligence lawyers could also accept your sepsis misdiagnosis claim on a No Win No fee basis, meaning that you won’t have to pay for anything unless you win your case. We can also offer you a free initial consultation with one of our experts where we can discuss your case.

Sepsis Misdiagnosis Inquests

Sometimes sepsis can tragically lead to deaths which could have been avoided. In addition to the claim for compensation, sometimes when deaths occur as a result of sepsis, an Inquest might be held to establish the facts around the death. Our specialist solicitors have a vast amount of experience of dealing with Inquests in medical negligence cases arising from sepsis. In some cases, therefore, we can represent you at Inquests, to help guide you through proceedings and to make sure your voice is heard. This also helps gather crucial evidence ahead of the compensation claim for medical negligence.
