Hospital acquired infections - Superbugs
Hospital infections such as MRSA and Clostridium Difficile have
recently been given a lot of media attention. While these
infections exist in the wider community, they are particularly
dangerous in a hospital environment because of the presence of open
wounds and the vulnerability of many hospital patients to
infections.
Hospital infections claims for superbugs (like MRSA and C diff)
arise in a number of ways:
- Delays in recognising and treating
infection
- Inappropriate treatment
- Proceeding with elective operations
when an infection is present
We are receiving more and more calls from
clients who ask us to investigate claims relating to hospital
acquired infections, rather than the original surgery or treatment
which they initially attended hospital for. There is a very wide
category of infections that can be acquired in hospital, which
can have serious and profound effects on patients'.
We may be able to assist you in making a claim
for acquiring such infections and the knock on effects which they
have on your prolonged recovery period, perhaps the need for
further surgery or loss of earnings. We have extensive experience
in successfully pursuing such cases on behalf of our clients.

legal aid and no win, no fee.
