When you are in hospital undergoing treatment for an injury or health condition, there is a good chance that you might require the use of a needle, or injection as part of your practice. Whether this is part of an operation, or as a form of pain minimisation, with the use of needles comes the risk of contracting Hepatitis C or Hepatitis B. Hepatitis is used to describe inflammation of the liver, and it is usually the result of a viral infection or liver damage. When a person contracts Hepatitis, the virus can stay present in the body for a long time, without showing obvious symptoms, and if not properly identified, it can cause serious health complications such as liver failure and cirrhosis. 

 

If you have developed Hepatitis while in hospital, this could be due to an unsafe injection, or the reusing of needles, and could be evidence of an act of medical negligence by a healthcare professional. Whether it was during a blood transfusion, or an injection of any kind, you could be entitled to make a no win no fee hepatitis compensation claim for medical negligence with our specialist solicitors. 

Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver. It is one of multiple different types of Hepatitis viruses that can cause inflammation in the liver and affect the function of the organ. 

 

Most people who suffer from Hepatitis A make a full recovery within a week, and suffer only mild symptoms, but in some people, particularly those more vulnerable, it can be much more serious. 

 

Common symptoms of Hepatitis A include:
