• Being prescribed the wrong medication, causing harm such as an allergic reaction.
• Critical treatment being delayed for some reason, causing harm to the patient.
• Accidents or mistakes during an operation.
• Misdiagnosis of a medical condition, leading to the wrong treatment being administered.
• Falling victim to an accident due to insufficient patient care, resulting in a personal injury.

These are the most common forms of medical negligence, there are many more.

How Do I Know When I Have A Valid Medical Negligence Claim?

Every successful claim for clinical negligence compensation has three things in common, and these are:

• The doctor who caused harm to the patient had a duty to safeguard the patient’s health.
• The doctor failed to meet this duty, which directly resulted in harm to the patient.
• The failure in duty could have been avoided in some way.

If the above facts fit with your own situation, then you should contact Legal Expert today. Our national claims service is available to people in Walton-on-Thames and can help them gain the maximum amount of compensation possible.
