Claim for Clinical Negligence in Tamworth

If you have suffered due to clinical negligence in Tamworth, then this page will be useful to you. It contains advice, tips and information on finding a suitable legal firm to represent you in a clinical negligence compensation claim case.

First of all, it is important to know exactly what medical negligence is. Medical or clinical negligence is a term used to describe any situation whereby a patient receiving treatment from a medical professional is actually harmed in some way due to oversight, error or malpractice.

Typical examples of medical negligence include:

  • Misdiagnosis of a medical condition.
  • Delay in providing treatment.
  • Prescribing the wrong medication.
  • Mistakes or accidents during a surgical procedure.
  • Allowing the patient to become the victim of an accident due to insufficient care.

These are just a few of the ways that medical negligence can occur, there are many more, some of which are discussed in greater detail further down the page.

Every successful claim for compensation following an occurrence of medical negligence will have to prove three key facts, and these are:

1 – That the medical professional who was responsible for the negligence occurring had a duty to provide healthcare for the patient.

2 – That the medical professional failed in this duty, which directly resulted in harm to the patient.

3 – That the failure of duty could have been avoided.

If these three facts are true in your case, then Legal Expert offers free legal advice Tamworth residents can take advantage of. Give us a call on the number at the bottom of the page, and we will explain how our national claims service works. We have a proven track record going back more than 30-years in claiming the maximum compensation possible for clients in complex medical negligence cases.

If you have lost a loved one through some form of cancer negligence, then Legal Expert can help you claim the maximum amount of compensation possible. Our national claims service is available to people all over the UK.

Nursing Home Negligence

Every nursing or care home has a legal requirement to maintain a specific minimum level of care for every resident. When they fail to meet this care level, and it results in a situation such as a resident being the victim of an accident due to inadequate supervision, or a resident contracting a serious illness which goes unnoticed by the carers, a reason to claim compensation may exist.

If one of your loved ones has suffered due to negligence in a nursing home, contact Legal Expert today, so we can begin claiming compensation on your behalf using our nationwide claims service.

Childbirth Negligence

Fortunately, cases of childbirth negligence are fairly uncommon. However, when they do occur they can be serious. During the birthing process, the mother can sustain injuries such as perineal tears, damage to the pelvic floor muscles or even a fractured pelvis. The baby itself could be the victim of a broken bone through birth trauma, or even a more serious condition such as permanent brain damage through loss of oxygen during the birthing process.

Legal Expert understands that families who have suffered due to childbirth negligence are going through a traumatic time. We aim to help them claim the compensation they are entitled to without adding to the stress they are going through.
