Have you of a loved one suffered loss or injury as a result of Sepsis ?
We understand what a devastating impact sepsis can have on patients and their families and are here to help, advise and seek proper redress for families who have suffered as a result of mistakes made with the treatment of sepsis.
Sepsis is an extremely serious and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs. Failings in care often occur in the first few hours when rapid diagnosis and simple treatment can be critical to the chances of survival.
Common failures include:
- Inadequate initial examination and assessment of the condition.
- Failure to recognise the severity of the illness.
- Inadequate initial treatment and delays in administering vital treatment.
- Inadequate monitoring and testing.
- Delays in escalating the matter to a senior Doctor, and referral to critical care.
All too often these failings lead to avoidable deaths or amputations. According to the NHS, approximately100,000 people are admitted to hospital with sepsis each year – and around 37,000 will die from the condition. It is estimated that 1 in 3 deaths from sepsis could have been prevented with proper assessment and timely medical treatment.
Those who survive sepsis are often left needing lifetime support having lost limbs or suffered organ damage. As specialists we know how important a compensation settlement can be to help deal with the rehabilitation of those lucky enough to survive and ease the financial burden on those who lose a loved one.
If you or a loved one developed Sepsis as a result of a hospital stay or surgical procedure then you may be eligible to claim compensation for the suffering and harm caused.

How we work
When you contact us we are happy to have a free no obligation discussion about your concerns so you can decide if it is something that you would like us to pursue for you.
If you instruct us to pursue a claim we offer a no win no fee service so there is no financial risk to you.
The first stage is that we take some basic information over the telephone and then send standard documentation to you for you to sign to confirm your instructions and to allow access to the medical records.
Once the initial paperwork is returned we apply for copies of all of the appropriate medical records and once they are received we have a team of experts who will review them.
Following review we will contact you and confirm our findings and whether or not we believe that it is a case that we are able to pursue for you. It may be the case at this stage that we are unable to establish sufficient negligence but atleast you will have answers and peace of mind that the care and treatment received was appropriate.
If we believe that the treatment fell short of what you should have received we will pursue the claim for you.
Where possible we will try to negotiate a settlement with the otherside rather than pursue the matter to Court.
