Sepsis takes many lives unnecessarily each year and leaves many others with significant lifelong complications. With early diagnosis and treatment this can be avoided. You can pursue a claim for damages if early warning signs were ignored or sepsis shouldn’t have occurred in the first place.
Patients: Individuals who have personally experienced harm, injury, or loss as a result of medical negligence or malpractice related to the diagnosis, treatment, or management of sepsis.
Parents or Legal Guardians: If the affected individual is a minor or lacks the capacity to handle legal matters independently, their parents or legal guardians may pursue a sepsis claim on their behalf.
Family Members: In cases where sepsis has led to the death of an individual, certain family members, such as immediate family or those who were financially dependent on the deceased, may be eligible to file a claim for wrongful death and related damages.

All serious injury claims are different and this depends upon when a final prognosis is known and a claim can be valued.
Once we obtain an admission of liability in your case we can request an immediate payment to help with your needs and put support in place.
Medical negligence claims rarely go to court, with only a small percentage of the more complex cases ending up there. However, in the unlikely event that your case reaches court, we will be by your side throughout the process.
It is important to pursue your claim as quickly as possible due to time limits and to also enable us to help you obtain compensation as soon as possible. This is especially the case in complex cases as the process can be lengthy.
You have to start your claim within 3-years (limitation period) from when the injury occurred or when you first became aware of any potential negligence or injury as a result. However, the time limit only begins when a child reaches 18 years of age.
Your case is about you and the impact that the surgery or the missed or delayed diagnosis has made to your life and your family. We are here to listen to your concerns so we can fight your corner, using our expertise to help investigate your case.
