Clinical negligence solicitor explains how to claim compensation from a hospital NHS trust is you develop MRSA during your stay at hospital

MRSA hospital scarring victim question

I went into hospital for a sterilisation operation a few months ago and I developed MRSA a day after the operation. This has led to extensive unsightly scarring of my groin, abdomen and stomach region.

Can I claim compensation from the hospital for the scarring caused by the MRSA?

Hospital negligence solicitor response

As you contracted MRSA on the hospital premises it is extremely likely a claim for hospital clinical negligence can be made. This claim would typically be made against the hospital NHS Trust.

Before a solicitor commences a claim a you should make a written complaint via the patient complaints procedure for the particular NHS Trust. To find this procedure – you should contact the hospital who will provide a contact name and address to write to.

I believe there is little excuse a hospital can give for you contracting MRSA – so you should be entitled to a MRSA compensation claim for your scarring and also enduring the MRSA infection.

The amount of compensation you can claim will be determined largely from an expert medical report from a plastic surgeon describing the extent of the scarring you have suffered.

MRSA hospital negligence victim question

I was admitted to a NHS hospital in Manchester approximately 2 years ago for a simple operation on my forehead. As a result of the operation and the stay in hospital I contracted MRSA and was left with a disfigured forehead.

The scarring of my forehead has required two further operations by a plastic surgeon to attempt to correct, but it is still so badly scarred that I have comments from virtually everyone I meet.

I have been in counselling as a result of being so self-conscious about my scarring and the reactions I get from the public.

Would I be entitled to make a claim for compensation against the hospital, if so how would I do this and what are my chances of success?

Hospital negligence solicitor response

It is very likely you will be able to claim compensation from the hospital for the effects of MRSA.

Hospitals should take proper precautions to prevent the contraction of MRSA during an operation or other surgical procedure.

You will be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering you experienced; a sum of money for scarring and disfigurement; an additional sum for psychological injury and money to compensate you for any financial expenses you might have incurred.

Medical negligence solicitor explains how to claim compensation if you have been subject to misdiagnosis by a consultant in a NHS hospital

Medical misdiagnosis victim question

I was involved in a road traffic accident involving damage to my shoulder. I was taken to hospital where I was told by a NHS consultant that due to the nature of the damage an operation was not possible to correct the injury I had sustained.

My shoulder joint therefore healed in a deformed manner and has left me in constant pain.

I recently was referred to another consultant orthopaedic surgeon who indicated that the original damage caused to my shoulder joint was in fact operable and had the operation taken place I would now have normal use of my shoulder with no pain or extremely limited pain.

Can I claim compensation for the misdiagnosis by the consultant in the NHS hospital?

Medical negligence solicitor response

Further investigation would be necessary to establish whether you can claim compensation for medical misdiagnosis of the treatment possible to your shoulder following the road traffic accident.

An independent medical expert instructed by a clinical negligence solicitor on your behalf would need to review your hospital / GP notes and examine you to verify that at the time of the accident it was unreasonable for the NHS consultant to have indicated that an operation was not possible.

If this medical expert can verify this to be the case, as has been suggested by the consultant you have recently seen, an additional medical report will be necessary to confirm how your injuries have healed to cause you on-going problems.

It would not be possible to claim compensation for the original shoulder injury caused by the road traffic accident – other than negligence having occurred by third party in that accident itself. It would however be possible for a claim to be made against the hospital for the worsening of your shoulder injury as a result of misdiagnosis and failure to treat properly.
