MRSA infection is a frequent occurrence among hospital patients, many of whom suffer significant long term consequences. The vast majority of people who contract MRSA do so whilst in a hospital, nursing home or similar establishment. This is normally due to a lack of hygiene or hand washing so it is possible you could claim compensation for their negligence.

It is generally more difficult to succeed in an MRSA compensation claim if it was negligent care that led to you contracting the infection, as you have to prove that the Hospital failed to comply with a reasonable standard of infection control measures and that that was how you caught it. People with confirmed mrsa should be barrier nursed in isolation .this does not always happen.
