Medical negligence (also known as clinical negligence or medical malpractice) can occur at any time whilst you are receiving medical attention, from an initial GP visit, to surgery and aftercare. There are various ways in which this can happen; including misdiagnosis, mistakes made during surgery or being given incorrect treatment or medication.
All medical professionals have a duty of care towards their patients and once this duty of care is breached due to negligence then the medical body is usually held accountable. In processing a clinical negligence claim we could prevent the similar mistakes from happening again as the body in question will be examined and reported to the regulating authority.
At Advantage Solicitors we appreciate the inconvenience such medical negligence claims can have on individuals. As a result, we will endeavour to assess each case on its particular circumstances. We are here to provide physical, emotional, legal and financial support. Our team will always ensure the maximum amount of compensation is obtained and proper rehabilitation assistance provided.
What is Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence (also known as clinical negligence) occurs when a healthcare professional or institution provides substandard care, resulting in harm or injury to a patient. This can happen in a variety of ways, from misdiagnosis to surgical errors. For a successful claim, we must prove that:
- A medical professional acted negligently – They provided care that fell below acceptable standards.
- This negligence caused harm – You suffered an injury or health complications that could have been avoided.
If you believe you’ve been a victim of medical negligence, you have the right to seek compensation—not just for the pain you’ve endured, but to help with treatment, rehabilitation, loss of earnings, and any long-term effects on your life.
