​

Understanding Medical Negligence

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse, or hospital, fails to deliver an acceptable standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, incorrect medication, or inadequate treatment. Proving negligence involves demonstrating that the care provided fell below the standard expected and that this failure directly caused injury or damage.

​

Common Types of Medical Negligence Cases

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to diagnose a condition accurately or promptly can lead to worsened health outcomes.

  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the patient.

  • Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, leading to adverse effects or lack of necessary treatment.

  • Birth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth that causes injury to the mother or baby.

  • Negligent Medical Advice: Providing incorrect or incomplete medical advice, resulting in harm.

Our Approach to Medical Negligence Claims

Initial Consultation

Our process begins with a free, confidential consultation. During this meeting, we will discuss your case, review any relevant medical records, and provide you with clear advice on the viability of your claim. We aim to make this process as straightforward and stress-free as possible, ensuring you feel supported from the very start.

​

Investigation and Evidence Gathering

Building a strong medical negligence case requires thorough investigation. We work closely with medical professionals to scrutinise your medical records and treatment history. This helps us establish whether the care provided fell below the expected standard and whether this directly caused your injury or illness. Gathering this evidence is crucial in proving negligence and is a step we approach with meticulous attention to detail.

​

Negotiation and Settlement

Once we have established a strong case, we will negotiate with the responsible party’s legal representatives and insurers to seek a fair settlement. Our aim is to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring you receive adequate compensation for your medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering. We are skilled negotiators and will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome.

​

Court Representation

If a satisfactory settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Our experienced litigators will represent you with confidence, presenting a compelling case to the court. We understand that court proceedings can be daunting, and we will provide you with clear guidance and support throughout this process.

​

​

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

General Damages

Compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life resulting from the negligence.

​

Special Damages

Reimbursement for financial losses such as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and loss of earnings. This can also include future expenses if ongoing treatment or care is required.

​

Loss of Consortium

Compensation for the negative impact the injury has had on your relationship with your spouse or family.

​

​

Why Act Now?

Statutory Time Limits

There are strict time limits for making a medical negligence claim, known as the limitation period. In most cases, you have three years from the date of the negligent act or from when you first became aware of the injury. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to claim, regardless of the severity of the negligence. It is crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate time frame.

​

Preserve Crucial Evidence

The sooner you begin your claim, the easier it is to gather necessary evidence. Medical records, witness statements, and other crucial information can be harder to obtain as time passes. Early legal intervention increases the likelihood of a successful outcome.
