Understanding medical negligence

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm or injury to the patient. This can happen in a variety of settings, including hospitals, GP surgeries, dental practices, or care homes. Mistakes made by doctors, nurses, surgeons, and other healthcare providers can have serious and long-lasting consequences for patients.

Common examples of medical negligence include misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, surgical mistakes, medication errors, and birth injuries. If medical negligence has resulted in injury or worsened health outcomes, it’s essential to seek expert legal advice to determine if you have a valid claim.

Our approach to medical negligence claims

The process of making a medical negligence claim begins with a thorough review of your case.

Once a case is established, we will work closely with medical experts to gather additional evidence, including medical records and witness statements, to build a strong claim on your behalf.

Our goal is to negotiate a fair settlement for you, compensating you for your pain, suffering, medical expenses, and any loss of income caused by the negligence.
