How can we help?
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition often caused by the body's severe response to an infection. Unfortunately, in some circumstances, sepsis can result from hospital negligence, including delayed diagnosis, inadequate treatment or substandard medical care. At Stephensons, we understand the devastating emotional and physical impacts this condition can have on you and your family. If you or a loved one has suffered sepsis due to suspected hospital negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact our team of medical negligence specialists today on 0161 696 6165.
Sepsis occurs when the immune system overreacts to an infection, causing serious inflammation throughout the body. Without early detection and prompt medical intervention, sepsis can escalate quickly, leading to organ failure, long-term health complications or even death.

Generally, you have three years from the date of the negligence or from when you first became aware of negligence to make a claim. However, there are exceptions, such as claims involving children or vulnerable adults. We advise contacting us promptly to arrange a consultation.
The timeframe varies depending on the complexity of your case and the hospital’s willingness to accept liability. Although some cases resolve within months, complex sepsis negligence claims may take longer. Stephensons will always keep you informed at every stage.
Compensation amounts vary depending on the severity of the injury, recovery time, financial losses and ongoing care costs required. Our solicitors will provide expert legal advice tailored to your individual situation, ensuring maximum compensation.
Most sepsis negligence cases settle without a court hearing through negotiation and mediation. Our experienced solicitors strive for resolution outside court to secure your compensation more efficiently. However, if necessary, we have the expertise to represent you diligently in court proceedings.
