We help people and families affected by the serious impacts of sepsis get the legal advice and support they need.
We understand the serious nature of sepsis and the impact it can have on people and their loved ones. Mostly caused by bacterial infections, this condition can be difficult to spot and as a result many families may be affected by it every year in the UK.
According to The UK Sepsis Trust, 2450,000 people are affected by sepsis every year. Of those, 48,000 lose their lives to this condition.
Sepsis, also known as septicaemia or blood poisoning, can be a life-threatening condition. It causes the body’s immune system to overreact to an infection and as a result attack the internal organs and tissue.
This can, in extreme circumstances, lead to organ failure and be fatal. It is vital that sepsis is treated quickly without any misdiagnoses or other medical mistakes.
We believe anyone who experiences negligence leading to sepsis, misdiagnosis or delayed treatment of sepsis, should have access to the appropriate legal advice and guidance.

We carry out many of our claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs for you and, provided that you have not misled or acted against the advice that we have given you, no financial risk to you – even if your claim is not successful.
In most instances we will purchase ‘After the Event’ (ATE) insurance on your behalf to cover any legal costs should you not win the case. However, if you have a ‘Before the Event’ (BTE) insurance policy included in your home, car or credit card insurance then we may look to use that insurance to cover the legal costs and an ATE policy should not then be required.

Unfortunately, sepsis is often misdiagnosed due to the wide range of symptoms it carries.
Some examples of sepsis misdiagnosis could be:
Septic shock is a severe form of sepsis, where an infection caused low blood pressure and widening of the blood vessels. This can lead to organ failure and be fatal.
If you think you might want to pursue a septic shock lawsuit, we urge you to get in touch with our team as soon as possible.

In general you have three years from the date of negligence or reasonable knowledge of mistreatment by a medical professional causing you harm to bring a medical negligence compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule; for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to our medical negligence solicitors as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
