Dermatitis is a condition that causes an inflammation of the skin.
The symptoms of dermatitis can be short or long term, and can spread all over the body as red, inflamed and itchy skin.
Some forms of dermatitis can be cured, but others are more difficult to treat. Depending on how you've contracted dermatitis and how it has been treated, you may be able to make a claim for compensation for clinical negligence.
The effects of dermatitis
Dermatitis can be extremely uncomfortable for people who suffer with this condition. Thankfully there are treatments that doctors can prescribe to ease the pain and discomfort caused by dermatitis.
Often, dermatitis is the result of work related exposure, but it's possible that clinical negligence could have worsened your dermatitis case.
Though dermatitis is often contracted as a child, dermatitis can be contracted later on in life from a workplace and can worsen as time goes on. The professions that most often experience dermatitis are cleaners, engineers, hairdressers, kitchen workers and nurses.
Victims of workplace dermatitis could claim personal injury compensation.
If you've contracted dermatitis as a personal injury you might be able to claim clinical negligence compensation if you feel you've been improperly treated for dermatitis.
Making a dermatitis negligence claim
If you have dermatitis, there are a few options for claiming compensation. For example, you can claim personal injury compensation against your workplace. If your dermatitis has been incorrectly diagnosed or treated poorly by your doctor, you can also file a clinical negligence claim.
