Hastings Medical Negligence Solicitors
Medical Negligence Solicitors In Hastings, Sussex
This medical negligence solicitor guide has been written for people who need to hire a medical negligence solicitor who covers the Hastings area. If you are based elsewhere in the country then Legal Expert can find the right medical negligence solicitor to help you make your claim.
Before we begin, we must be clear about how to define medical negligence. Medical negligence, which is also called clinical negligence, refers to cases where a patient experiences care from a medical institution or professional that is below acceptable standards. If the medical negligence causes harm to a patient, through injury, illness, or the aggravation of an existing issue (for example, the patient receives a late diagnosis for their medical condition, so doesn’t get the treatment they need) then they may be able to claim compensation.
To make a legitimate medical negligence compensation claim, UK law says that you (the Claimant) must be capable of proving the following in regards to the defendant (the medical institution or professional in question):
- That the medical defendant (medical institution or practitioner) owed the party who is claiming a legal duty of care.
- That the defendant ultimately breached the duty of care which they owed the claimant, through a certain action or lack of action.
- And finally that this action or lack of inaction caused the claimant harm. Your medical negligence solicitor should assist with gathering this evidence against the defendant.
Please also consider that due to the Limitation Act 1980, there’s usually a three-year time limit for starting a compensation claim from the date you were harmed or your condition(s) could be diagnosed. If you are outside this time frame then you may still be able to make your compensation claim, as there are exceptions to this rule. Call Legal Expert and we will consult you on whether or not you can still claim compensation.
Under UK medical negligence law, you may also be able to claim medical negligence compensation on behalf of someone if they are a child, are mentally incapacitated or are deceased. You must, however, be considered someone who can be trusted to protect the interests of the injured party. Someone eligible to claim on behalf of someone else is formally known as a litigation friend and is commonly (though not exclusively) a family relative or guardian of the victim.
