When patients go in for a blood transfusion, the chances are that it would never even cross their mind that they may not be given clean blood. However, in some cases, patients can actually develop blood diseases after having a blood transfusion. 

 

If you have undergone a blood transfusion, and have gone on to develop a blood infection of any kind, there is a chance that you could have been infected as part of the blood transfusion process. 

 

If this is the case, then you could make a no win no fee blood transfusion compensation claim with our specialist solicitors today. Simply contact us online here for a free, no-obligation consultation. 

For any medical negligence claim to succeed, including a blood transfusion compensation claim, there must be an act of negligence or a breach of a duty of care involved. It can sometimes be difficult to judge when the line into negligence has been crossed, or if the treatment you have received is just of a poor standard; but with a blood transfusion claim this can sometimes be easier, because if you contracted an illness from infected blood, then the medical practitioner or NHS Trust, has obviously acted negligently,

If you are looking to make a blood transfusion compensation claim for financial compensation, and are wondering if your claim would be provable, simply contact our no win no fee medical negligence solicitors online here and have a free, no-obligation consultation with a solicitor within one working hour. 

If you believe that you have suffered medical negligence during a blood transfusion, and are wanting to make a blood transfusion compensation claim, the first step is to get in touch with a medical negligence solicitor, such as MG Legal, and find out whether you have a claim. After discussing your potential claim, your medical negligence solicitor will then advise you as to the first steps that need to be taken to build your NO WIN NO FEE blood transfusion compensation claim. 

All medical negligence claims are subject to the 1980 Limitation Act. This legislation states that patients have three years from the date of the medical negligence, or from the date they found out that the treatment was negligent, in order to file a medical negligence claim for financial compensation. So, when a patient has only become aware of the act of medical negligence at a later date, they would instead have three years from this ‘date of knowledge’ within which to make a blood transfusion compensation claim. 

 

These time limits differ for minors, in that the three-year time period instead only begins on the date of their eighteenth birthday within which to make a claim. Despite the three-year time limit seeming like a long time to many, our medical negligence solicitors always advise our clients to contact our no win no fee solicitors as soon as possible, in order to begin their medical negligence claim for blood transfusion negligence. It can take a couple of months for the NHS to release medical notes to our no win no fee solicitors, and we need your notes before we can start our investigations into your claim for medical negligence compensation- so the sooner you get in touch, the better.
