What is a Meningitis Misdiagnosis Compensation Claim?
A meningitis misdiagnosis compensation claim is a legal claim for compensation made by someone who has suffered harm as a result of a misdiagnosis of meningitis. This can include medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering.
Meningitis is known as one of the fastest developing types of infection, so it is crucial that the symptoms are identified as quickly as possible so that the patient can be treated as a matter of urgency. Misdiagnosis or failure to spot the symptoms of meningitis quickly can increase the patient's chances of suffering further medical complications due to the infection, including:
Memory loss
Co-ordination issues
Severe headaches
Hearing problems
Epilepsy
Vision problems
Septicaemia (which can lead to loss of limbs)
Brain Damage.
If there has been a significant delay in recognising the meningitis infection and getting treatment started, or if the infection has been correctly identified by medical professionals but given the wrong treatment, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
At Forbes, our expert team of solicitors understand that claiming compensation isn't necessarily about the money, but rather about getting answers and having the chance to rebuild your life despite any ongoing health issues. So, if you've sustained any health problems or injuries due to the negligence of medical professionals in dealing with your meningitis diagnosis, our team of solicitors are on hand to advise you.

Elaine EdwardsI 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
AnonymousForbes 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!!!!
Michelle MossLeonie 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
AnonymousJohn 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.
Lisa BromilowI 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
