Blood clots can be extremely serious, so it’s crucial to diagnose and treat a clot promptly. Failure to do so can result in permanent disability, amputation or even death.
If you, or someone you love has experienced negligence in relation to a blood clot, you could be eligible for compensation. Types of blood clot claim:
- Failure to prevent the development of a blood clot due to negligent care
- Failure to test for or properly medicate patients who are more at risk of developing vascular issues, such as those with a family history of blood clots or patients who are overweight
- Failure to prescribe blood thinning medicine to prevent blood clots

Frequently asked questions about Blood Clot Claims
Our expert legal team answer your questions about making a Blood Clot Claim
According to NHS Inform, some people don’t suffer any symptoms of DVT. However, others may suffer symptoms which could include:
- Feeling pain, swelling or tenderness in your legs, often in your calf or thigh
- a heavy ache in the affected area
- warm skin in the area of the clot
- red skin, particularly at the back of your leg below the knee
Sometimes, blood clots can be missed by medical professional. Thorough testing is usually required to identify blood clots this could be a CT scan, ultrasounds or blood tests. It has been known that blood clots can be misdiagnosed as a stroke, cardiac arrest or pneumonia.
The amount of compensation you could receive for a blood clot claim will depend on the circumstances involved. Every claim is different, thus the final compensation pay-out is based on the severity of the injury you experienced. Many factors are taken into account, including the impact on your health, medical expenses, and any loss of earnings.

Case Study
Sarah's Story
"Now we have peace of mind"
My husband, Nick, went back and forth to the doctors for a long time and tried everything the doctor recommended. But his illness got worse, to the point that he was in agony.
In the end we got so desperate that we asked for a referral. The doctor was reluctant, so we had to consult a private hospital. That’s when we found out there was a tumour. It took years from the onset of his illness to finally start cancer treatment.
He used to be a man with a lot to live for, but in the end he was in so much pain that he withdrew from the family. He became angry that nobody had helped him sooner, and the legal team were able to give him the validation that he was desperately seeking. The NHS confirmed if they had done more, Nick would still be alive today.
