What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice is a breach of a healthcare professional's or organization's duty of care to their patients. Unfortunately, medical malpractice can often result in injury and illness, or make existing conditions worse.

There are several ways medical malpractice can occur, including:

  • Failure to warn you about the risks associated with your treatment
  • Failure to obtain your consent to have an operation performed
  • Delay your referral to a specialist
  • Not diagnosing your health condition
  • Late diagnosis (despite earlier symptoms)
  • prescribe the wrong medication
  • Don't do your surgery carefully enough.

If you have suffered medical malpractice, our attorneys can help you make a claim. For more information on how we can help, please contact us at0800 121 6567.

Who Can Claim Clinical Negligence?

Our medical malpractice lawyers can help you make a claim if you have been injured by NHS Trusts, private hospitals, medical specialists, plastic surgeons, dentists, mental health professionals, nurses and other healthcare professionals.

You can also make a claim on behalf of a child, a mentally incompetent person, and a loved one who has died as a result of medical malpractice.

Claims on Behalf of Children

You may be referred to as a "friend in litigation" to bring a claim on behalf of a child who has suffered medical malpractice under the age of 18. A friend in litigation is usually a parent or guardian of the child and must be able to show that he or she can act fairly in the child's best interests.

Normally, any compensation awarded to your child will be paid to the court and deposited into an investment account. Your child may apply to access the award when they turn 18. Sometimes the court will pay you for small amounts, but you will be expected to put the money into a bank account for your child.

Claims for people with intellectual disabilities

You can help someone claim that they are unable to mind their own business. A person is generally considered defective if they cannot make informed decisions about their money, weigh the pros and cons of their decisions, or communicate clearly to make their decisions clear.

Claims for gross negligence

If you have lost a loved one who unfortunately died from medical malpractice, you can make a claim on their behalf.

We can help you with:

  • Receive compensation for the pain and suffering of your loved ones to compensate for financial losses caused by their deaths and to cover funeral expenses.
  • Represent you in the investigation
  • Dependent Claims: We help you protect the estate not left in your loved one's will
  • Get the answers and apologies you deserve.

Our solicitors can also help you obtain a Statutory Survivor's Compensation, a payment of £15,120 payable if a wrongful death occurs. You can do this if you are the spouse, domestic partner or parent (under the age of 18) of the deceased.

If you wish to make a complaint, contact us today at0800 121 6567.

What can medical malpractice compensation do?

Compensation's role is to make your life that little bit easier by making sure you get the support you need to enjoy the best possible quality of life. Our top priority is your health, so we make sure you have access to care and support for your individual needs.

When calculating the compensation due to you, we consider factors such as:

  • Content– including travel expenses for medical appointments, medical equipment and everyday necessities.
  • lost profit– to cover time off work and time off you may need in the future. This value can also cover problems, e.g. B. not being able to return to the same position or not being able to return to work.
  • other treatments– to pay for other surgeries or medical procedures you need after negligent treatment.
  • adjustmentsat your homeand vehicle that can help you live independently.
  • care costs– to fund past and future home care visits and rehabilitation treatments.

Your compensation will also take into account any unnecessary pain and suffering you may have suffered. The nature and severity of your injury or illness and your chances of a full recovery will also be considered.

The amount of indemnity guaranteed for medical malpractice claims varies from case to case, as two clients with the same injuries can have vastly different circumstances.
