Effects of MRSA infections
MRSA has been the subject of much publicity as the number of deaths from the infection is on the rise. While it is possible for MRSA to be treated by certain drugs and for some MRSA sufferers to make a full recovery, others may be left with permanent scars and around 1000 people die from the infection each year.
The best way to prevent MRSA infection is to ensure strict hygiene standards in hospitals. Wards should be regularly disinfected and all medical staff and visitors should wash their hands after every task.
Making an MRSA compensation claim
It may be possible to claim for MRSA compensation for you or a loved one. However, prospective claimants should bear in mind that MRSA claims don't often succeed because it can be difficult for lawyers to prove that a patient contracted MRSA due to hospital negligence.
Instead, many MRSA claims are being made using laws controlling harmful substances, rather than attempting to prove clinical negligence.
