Home FAQ Sepsis and Septic Shock FAQ How do I know if I have a sepsis or septic shock medical malpractice claim?
You may have a potential claim if an infection, sepsis, or septic shock was not recognized or treated in time, and that delay led to serious, lasting harm or death. Common issues include failing to take symptoms seriously, not ordering appropriate tests, delaying antibiotics or fluids, or postponing transfer to intensive care.
The only way to know for sure is through a detailed review of the medical records and expert opinions. As part of your free consultation, our team will obtain and review your chart, speak with you and your family about what happened, and consult with independent medical experts to assess whether the care fell below the standard of care and caused the outcome.
We will not charge you unless your case is successful.
