Deep Vein Thrombosis Claims


Deep vein thrombosis can be easily treated if medical professionals diagnose and treat the problem quickly.  If medical staff do not spot the symptoms quickly or fail to undertake a full investigation including ultrasound and venogram this may well amount to medical negligence.

Our medical negligence team provides specialist legal advice, support and guidance to our clients and their families throughout their deep vein thrombosis claims. Please take a look at our deep vein thrombosis claim examples to see the type of case Darbys medical negligence solicitors can assist with.

Deep Vein Thrombosis Claim Case Studies


Case Study One: Delay in diagnosis of DVT

 D  had developed DVT after surgery. Doctors failed to recognise and act upon the symptoms  resulting in long term problem lower limb problems including ulceration, pain, reduced mobility, and significant swelling.


Case Study Two: GP Failure to consider DVT as diagnosis

 Mr D's family reported symptoms of DVT to his local GP who failed to diagnose and refer him to hospital. Sadly Mr D died two days later from cardiac arrest.


Case Study Three: Hospital failure to diagnose DVT

After removal of a lower limb plaster cast signs of DVT were missed with the result  anticoagulatioan treatment was not instituted.  The DVT threw off clots leading to pulmonary embolism and death.
