What Is Medical Negligence And When Could I Claim?

The first information we need to impart, is an explanation of just what clinical negligence is. When any medical professional causes harm to a patient that could have been avoided, then negligence could have taken place. Typical examples could be:

  • A pharmacy giving you the wrong medication.
  • Your GP prescribing you the wrong medication.
  • A doctor misdiagnosing your medical condition.
  • A surgeon harming you by accident during an operation.
  • A nurse not caring for you properly, resulting in you having an accident in hospital.
  • A specialist administering the wrong treatment.
  • An anaesthetist making a mistake when administering an anesthetic.

These are just some of the ways that you can be harmed by a medical professional, there are, of course, many more.

It is important to know that simply causing harm to a patient is not automatically considered negligence. Consider treatments such as chemotherapy. This is an aggressive treatment that will cause harm. However, it is being administered as part of a treatment plan to cure a much worse illness such as cancer.

This kind of harm would not be considered negligence, unless a mistake was made while administering the chemotherapy. In order for it to be considered medical negligence a health care worker must have breached their care of duty and this has had a direct consequence.

Every medical expert has a duty of care towards their patients, to never do them harm. When they fail in this duty of care, causing harm to a patient, a case of negligence will exist.

As you can see, the claim process is very complex in terms of negligence cases, and you may need an experienced and skilled negligence lawyer such as those here at Legal Expert. To find out how we can be of assistance, speak to one of our team on the number at the end of this guide.

How To Choose A Specialist Solicitor For A Clinical Negligence Claim

The effectiveness of your medical negligence team in processing your claim, is going to have a direct effect on a) your chances of making a successful claim, and b) the level of compensation that you receive. However, finding a good legal team can take time, as you vet each one in turn. To cut down on the effort involved, you can try asking any solicitor you are considering using, these three questions:

  • Are you able to represent me under an agreement whereby you don’t charge a fee unless you are successful in winning my claim?
  • Can you help me to prepare for my claim, by arranging a free medical examination in Wallsend?
  • Can you show me that you have helped to win compensation in a similar claim to my own in the last year?

If the solicitor you are talking to cannot answer yes to all three of these, they may not be the best choice for your claim. Legal Expert can answer yes to all three, and we can help you to get the most compensation possible in your negligence claim.

Clinical And Medical Negligence Claims Our Team Handles

  • Cancer Negligence: Most of the cancer medical negligence cases we come across, are due to either a misdiagnosis or a late diagnosis of the patient’s medical condition. This is a particularly serious mistake for people who suffer from cancers like bladder cancer, as it can lead to a delay in them receiving the treatment they need. The longer that cancer goes untreated, the less the chance of a patient making a full recovery.
  • Birth Injuries: Birth injury claims are one of the most common types of claims we deal with here at Legal Expert. A mother can suffer serious injuries such as damage to the pelvic floor muscles, womb or the bowel. In more serious cases, negligence can lead to a heart attack or even death. The baby is at risk of grave injuries such as permanent brain damage, that will affect them for their whole life.
