Our compassionate and experienced team of solicitors are here to support you every step of the way. We'll guide you through the claims process and work hard to get you the compensation you deserve.
What Is A Hospital Infection Claim?
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are infections that develop 48 hours or more after being admitted to a hospital or healthcare facility and were not present or incubating at the time of admission.
To make a successful claim, you must show that the infection resulted from substandard medical care or a breach of infection control protocols. Grounds for a claim may include:
- Improper sterilization of medical instruments
- Failure to isolate contagious patients
- Unsanitary conditions in wards or operating rooms
- Inadequate hand hygiene by hospital staff
- Delayed diagnosis or treatment of infection
If a hospital fails to meet the required standard of care and this leads to an infection that causes harm or prolongs recovery, you may have grounds for legal action.
Why Make A Hospital Infection Claim?
Hospitals do their best to provide safe, high-quality care, but sometimes infections still happen. If you picked up an infection because of negligence or a failure to follow proper safety procedures, you may be entitled to make a legal claim.
Making a claim can help you:
- Get compensation for medical bills, ongoing treatment or rehabilitation
- Recover lost income if you’ve had to take time off work
- Receive financial support for pain, suffering or a lower quality of life
- Hold hospitals accountable and push for better infection control and patient safety
