If contracted, infectious diseases can cause devastating life-long injuries if they are not promptly diagnosed and treated, especially in young children, babies or more vulnerable adults. Many of these infectious diseases are easily avoidable with adequate medical care, so if you, or anyone in your family, have suffered from an infectious disease, it's very normal to have some questions about how it happened. In many cases, sub-standard medical care can lead to the spread of infectious diseases; so, if you or a member of your family has suffered unnecessarily, due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to claim compensation for any injuries sustained.
