MRSA Infection Claims

Methycillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) can cause a number of infections if it enters the body. Generally MRSA affects hospital patients, in particular those that have undergone surgery or have a weak immune system. An infection can be caused when the bacteria enter a person’s system, for example through a drip site or wound. The type of infection caused can vary, from abscesses or septic wounds to life-threatening infections of the bloodstream.

If you, or a member of your family has contracted MRSA during a stay in hospital, and you believe that this disease might have been caused because of the hospital’s clinical negligence, then you may be entitled to bring a personal injury claim for compensation.
