Certain types of skin infection can be difficult to diagnose. If this accompanied with the rapid development / alterations of skin infections can result in devastating injuries to patients. One such skin infection which we at Callinan Murphy Solicitors have dealt with is Necrotising Fasciitis. This is a bacterial infection which causes tissue death. It spreads rapidly. It generally commences as cellulitis and if not treated appropriately, can develop into necrotising fasciitis.
To prove a case of medical negligence arising from a delay to properly treat a skin infection / an infection generally, an expert report is required to prove that the healthcare professional breached the duty of care owed to you. That expert must state that the doctor was negligent in the way he treated you, and that the stated injury has arisen as a direct consequence of that negligence. Often, patients don’t know what to do when this situation occurs to them. We at Callanan Murphy Solicitors have many years’ experience in the area of medical negligence claims in Ireland and have dedicated Solicitors who practice in the area.
