Infectious Disease Claims

Infectious diseases can cause devastating life-long injuries if they are not promptly diagnosed and treated.

More about Infectious Disease Claims

Forbes Solicitors' infectious disease claims solicitors offer expert legal advice to individuals who have suffered as a result of receiving an infectious disease. Our infectious disease claims lawyers can assist with a range of issues, including misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and inadequate monitoring.

If contracted, infectious diseases can cause devastating life-long injuries if they are not promptly diagnosed and treated, especially in young children, babies or more vulnerable adults. Many of these infectious diseases are easily avoidable with adequate medical care, so if you, or anyone in your family, have suffered from an infectious disease, it's very normal to have some questions about how it happened. In many cases, sub-standard medical care can lead to the spread of infectious diseases; so, if you or a member of your family has suffered unnecessarily, due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to claim compensation for any injuries sustained. At Forbes, our expert team of medical negligence solicitors can provide legal advice in a range of infectious disease and injury compensation claims, including:

  • Meningitis

  • Tuberculosis

  • Herpes simplex virus

  • Staph aureus

  • Malaria

  • Septicaemia

  • Encephalitis

  • Hospital acquired diseases

  • Kawasaki Disease

  • Smallpox

  • Measles.

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!!!!

Leonie was Very thorough and guided me through all the process from start to finish. Nothing was to much trouble. We won the case and hopefully because of her hard work and dedication we will see some improvements within the NHS

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
