What is a Hospital Infection Claim?

What is a Hospital Infection Claim?

Hospital infection compensation claims are in place to compensate victims for issues caused after receiving an infection from a hospital. The victim's physical harm and loss of earnings may be affected after receiving the infection which should have been avoided.

When we are admitted into hospital, we expect to be looked after and cared for by medical staff. A hospital is a place where we go to get treatment when we are ill, and should not be a place where we are exposed to infections. We expect clean and sterile conditions to aid in our recovery.

We do not expect nor should we have to worry about leaving in a worse condition than when we arrived.

Unfortunately, from time to time patients can and do develop infections as a result of clinical negligence, meaning they have to stay longer than expected in hospital or develop illnesses that can cause long lasting health problems and in severe cases, death.

I would like to say how eternally grateful I am for the service that Lisa has given us through this devastating time of losing my mum.

Lisa has been completely honest and upfront from the start with what to expect, and "held our hand" all the way

Whenever I needed to contact Lisa she would either answer straight away or get back to me very quickly. I do believe that Lisa is a credit to Forbes and would highly recommend her

Forbes have been our legal team for the past 6 years and John Bennett has been the solicitor for our case. The amount of work and dedication carried out from John has been immense. We have settled this case knowing my child will be set for life and have everything we will ever need. I feel very lucky to have found a solicitor so passionate about what he does. There isn’t anything in this world we could thank John with but, from the bottom of our hearts. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

John Bennett at Forbes has been patient, supportive and understanding. From the outset I felt that my case was in safe hands. Throughout the process I have found that John is happy to explain terminology and procedures so that I have felt reassured and comfortable.

I dealt with Lisa Atkinson from the Blackburn branch. Lisa was always open and honest with regards to what we could expect from the case. Always quick to respond to any query we had, updated us along the way and was always professional. I found her to be very thorough in all dealings that we had with her, and would not hesitate to use again. Thank you
