Was My Sepsis Caused By Negligence?
Sepsis (also known as septicaemia or blood poisoning) occurs when your body overreacts to an infection, causing widespread inflammation and organ damage. Early detection and treatment is vital.
Failure to recognise sepsis and delays in treatment can have devastating consequences, leading to catastrophic injuries or even death. Survivors may face long-term physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges, while families often experience significant financial and emotional strain.
Tozers specialise in securing the compensation families need to access the best possible care, rehabilitation, and support, helping you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
When Should I Consider a Sepsis Negligence Claim?
You should consider a sepsis negligence claim to seek compensation when healthcare professionals fail to diagnose or treat sepsis promptly, leading to avoidable harm or death. Common examples of medical errors include:
- Delays in recognising the signs and symptoms of infection or sepsis
- Failure to undertake appropriate tests or investigations, escalate care or refer to specialist teams
- Delayed administration of antibiotics or fluids
- Errors in monitoring a patient’s condition
- Failure to act on abnormal test results
If you believe delays or mistakes contributed to sepsis-related injury or loss, we’re here to help.

Frequently asked questions
Common symptoms include high or low temperature, rapid breathing or heart rate, confusion, extreme pain, mottled or bluish skin, reduced urine output, and feeling very unwell. Symptoms can worsen rapidly.
Sepsis may involve negligence if healthcare professionals failed to recognise symptoms, delayed treatment, did not escalate care, or did not follow appropriate clinical guidelines, leading to avoidable harm.
Claims can be made by individuals who suffered injury due to sepsis, or by family members on behalf of a loved one, including parents of affected children or dependants of someone who has died.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of injury or from when you became aware that negligence may have occurred. Different rules apply for children where a claim can be made at any point.
Medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions are typically required. We will help gather everything needed to support your claim.
