Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is when a blood clot forms inside a deep vein commonly in the arm or leg. Pulmonary embolism (PE) happens when a blood vessel in the lungs gets blocked by a blood clot that has been dislodged from another part of the body.
DVT can lead to significant disability or lasting health problems. PE can cause damage to your lungs and sadly, an undiagnosed PE can often prove fatal. We have supported many families who’ve lost someone because of PE, both at inquest and through a medical negligence claim.
If you think you’ve suffered a DVT or PE because of medical negligence, or these were not diagnosed in time, get in touch with one of our legal specialists. You may be entitled to compensation. If you need ongoing medical care, a claim can cover this as well as specialist equipment and loss of earnings.

Rarely, amputation may be required. These complications may make it difficult to walk and take part in normal daily activities. You may need ongoing medical care. A claim can cover the cost of lost earnings, care needed, specialist treatment and equipment.
The most serious complication of a PE is death. Around one third of people with undiagnosed and untreated PE die. Our medical negligence solicitors have supported many families who have lost someone because of a PE, both at inquest and through a medical negligence claim.
