Sepsis, sometimes known as blood poisoning or septicaemia, is a potentially life-threatening condition.
Due to the nature of sepsis, early detection is crucial to prevent long-term damage, including multiple organ failure. If your sepsis was misdiagnosed or wasn’t picked up at the earliest possible opportunity, we could help you claim compensation. Contact us to start your claim.
We could help you secure compensation which’ll help you access expert care and rehabilitation to meet your ongoing and future needs. Compensation could also provide support if your loved one has sadly died because of sepsis.
We could also accept your sepsis misdiagnosis claim on a no win no fee basis. This means if your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t have to pay any legal fees.
You’ll be offered a free initial consultation where you can tell us more about what’s happened to you or your loved one. We’ll tell you whether we believe you can make a claim. There’s no pressure to use our services after this consultation.

What constitutes sepsis negligence?
Due to the devastating nature of sepsis, detecting the disease as early as possible can be very important. If medical mistakes prevented early detection or allowed your symptoms to develop, we could help you make a claim for medical negligence.
If you or your loved one has experienced a delayed diagnosis of sepsis, we’re here to get you the answers you deserve and to make sure that the same mistakes don’t happen to others in the future.
We could help you make a claim if:
- Medical professionals failed to reach a correct diagnosis
- You experienced delays before receiving the necessary antibiotic treatment
- Your GP failed to recognise the early stages of sepsis
- Your referral to the hospital after being diagnosed was delayed.
The above factors may have meant that your symptoms worsened, leading to potentially permanent injuries and even death in some cases. We’re here for you in this scenario and could help you secure compensation to help you access specialist care and support.
