Medical Negligence Claims
Doctors, nurses, dentists and other health care workers treat millions of patients every year. They are generally regarded as providing a first class service for their patients. Nevertheless, sometimes things do not always go to plan. If this has happened to you or a loved one you may be able to claim for financial compensation against clinical or medical negligence.
What is medical negligence?
Medical negligence - sometimes referred to as clinical negligence - is when unsatisfactory health care causes:
- Pain
- Injury
- Mental Health problems
- Or sometimes even death
You can claim financial compensation whether the treatment received was from the NHS or privately. It applies to all forms of treatment by your GP, hospital or dentist, however, proving medical negligence by a lack of care or misjudgement can be difficult, therefore it’s vital you have suitably qualified solicitor to manage your claim from the outset.
Examples of medical claims can arise out of:
- Accident and emergency
- Anaesthetics
- Cancer treatment
- Cardiothoracic surgery
- Cardiology
- Gastroenterology
- General practice
- Keyhole surgery
- Mental health
- Neurosurgery
- Obstetrics and gynaecology
- Oncology

- Orthopaedics
- Paediatrics
- Plastic surgery
- Psychiatry
- Radiology
- Sterilisation
