What is MRSA/C.Difficile

Please click on this link for a brief description- link

Why Claim ?

You may not have been told that you were suffering from a hospital acquired infection whilst in hospital. The symptoms of C.Difficile include chronic diarrhoea, stomach pains and feeling generally unwell. The symptoms of MRSA most commonly show themselves when an open wound on the body becomes infected and does not respond to conventional treatment. Such infections can be eradicated quickly via use of appropriate treatments. A delay in treatment can lead to complications which need to be avoided if possible, in all patients, but particularly in the elderly. Unfortunately, if such infections are left untreated, or treatment is not administered quickly, the results can be disastrous.

How you can claim?

Recompense offer a No-Win-No-Fee service which means that it will not cost you anything to make your claim. Our specialist hospital infections team will be able to guide you through every step of the claims process. We can assess the prospects of a claim very early on by considering medical records in conjunction with your evidence to decide whether the Healthcare Trust in question has been negligent in your treatment.
