Meningitis Negligence Claims

Your meningitis negligence claims support team are ready to help fight for your justice.

Meningitis is a serious and potentially life-threatening infection affecting the membranes surrounding your brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges.

​

Symptoms of this infection often develop very quickly and include vomiting, fever, aversion to bright light, stiffness and classically, a rash that does not fade under the pressure of a glass. Whilst this is most common in babies, it can affect anyone, so doctors must be aware of it.

​

Meningitis often requires urgent treatment, and doctors must know the potential symptoms to carry out the appropriate tests and make a timely diagnosis.

​

Types of meningitis.

Graystons can assist those who have suffered from different types of meningitis. This includes: -

  • Viral Meningitis – This is the most common type of meningitis and least severe, sharing common symptoms with a cold or flu, e.g. Headache, cold, fatigue.

  • Bacterial meningitis – This is rarer than viral meningitis but can be very serious if not treated with antibiotics. It can cause serious brain damage and even death if not treated promptly.

  • Meningococcal septicaemia – This is also a very serious and life-threatening infection of your blood caused by a type of bacteria that causes bacterial meningitis.
