When Can You Claim for a Blood Clot?
Not every blood clot happens due to medical negligence. However, if your condition was caused or made worse because a healthcare professional failed in their duty of care, you could have a valid claim for Blood Clot Compensation.
Common situations that may lead to a claim include:
- Failure to diagnose or treat a blood clot in time
- Ignoring early warning signs such as leg pain, swelling, or breathlessness
- Incorrectly prescribing medication that increases clotting risk
- Failing to provide blood-thinning medication after surgery
- Poor post-operative care or inadequate monitoring during recovery
If a delay or mistake in treatment caused your blood clot to worsen, you could be entitled to claim compensation for the pain, suffering, and financial losses caused by medical negligence.
The Impact of Medical Negligence in Blood Clot Cases
A blood clot can lead to long-term health problems such as mobility issues, breathing difficulties, or permanent damage to vital organs. In severe cases, it can result in disability or death.
When this happens due to a doctor’s or hospital’s error, it’s more than just a medical issue — it’s a breach of trust. Victims often face ongoing treatments, emotional distress, and financial strain.
That’s where Claims 24 Hours comes in. Our team works with experienced solicitors who specialise in Blood Clot Compensation cases to ensure you receive fair compensation for:
- Medical treatment costs and rehabilitation
- Loss of income or future earning potential
- Physical pain and emotional suffering
- Home adaptations or long-term care needs
- Impact on quality of life
Examples of Negligence Leading to Blood Clots
While many hospitals provide excellent care, errors can still occur. Some examples of negligence that may result in a blood clot claim include:
Missed diagnosis: A GP or hospital doctor failed to recognise the symptoms of DVT or pulmonary embolism.
Medication errors: The wrong dosage or type of medication was prescribed.
Lack of preventative care: After surgery or extended bed rest, no steps were taken to prevent clot formation.
Failure to act quickly: Delayed scans, tests, or hospital referrals led to avoidable complications.
If any of these situations sound familiar, you may be entitled to Blood Clot Compensation.
Making a Blood Clot Compensation Claim
Starting a claim might feel overwhelming, especially if you’re still recovering. But with Claims 24 Hours, the process is made simple and stress-free.
When you contact our team, we’ll start by listening carefully to your experience and gathering essential details about your case. We’ll then connect you with an expert medical negligence solicitor who will:
- Review your medical records
- Consult independent medical experts
- Build evidence proving that negligence occurred
- Negotiate for the maximum compensation possible
We understand that no amount of money can undo what happened, but a successful Blood Clot Compensation claim can help you recover financially and emotionally while holding those responsible accountable.
Claiming Against the NHS or Private Healthcare
Many people worry about claiming against the NHS or private hospitals, but it’s important to remember that your claim isn’t personal — it’s about ensuring proper standards of care are upheld.
If you received treatment through the NHS and negligence occurred, your solicitor will follow a formal process handled through NHS Resolution. For private hospitals, the process is similar, but the claim is made against the clinic’s insurer.
In both cases, Claims 24 Hours ensures your claim is handled professionally, respectfully, and with complete confidentiality.
How Much Compensation Can You Receive?
The amount of compensation you could receive for a blood clot claim depends on several factors, including:
The severity and impact of the injury
Whether you’ve suffered long-term or permanent effects
The cost of medical care, treatment, or rehabilitation
Financial losses, including time off work and reduced earnings
Emotional and psychological distress caused by the incident
Each case is unique, and your solicitor will ensure every aspect of your suffering is taken into account when pursuing Blood Clot Compensation.
Time Limits for Making a Claim
In the UK, you typically have three years from the date of the incident or the date you first realised your injury was caused by negligence to start a claim.
However, if the claim is being made on behalf of someone under 18, the three-year limit doesn’t begin until their 18th birthday. For fatal cases, the claim must usually be made within three years of the date of death.
If you’re unsure whether you’re still within the time limit, contact Claims 24 Hours on +44 20 7043 3779 for a free consultation.
