Hospitals are expected to be clean and help people get better, but sometimes patients pick up additional conditions during a stay and their recovery is compromised. Hospital infection claims.
Hospital acquired infection claims could be made if you contracted an illness that you did not have on being admitted. They can develop as a result of sub-standard care, poor medical diagnosis and assessment or sub-standard hygiene procedures and in some cases can be life-threatening or even fatal.
MRSA and C Difficile are the most common hospital acquired infections, but there are many more. If it can be shown that you picked up the infection while in hospital as a result of medical negligence or improper care, you might be able to make a hospital acquired infection claim. You could also claim if the infection was not diagnosed quickly or treated properly. Brain Injury claims.
