Medical Negligence

Medical care and treatment in the United Kingdom is of the highest standards and most health care professionals are the most dedicated people in society, however sometimes things can go wrong and everybody is fallible and mistakes can occur.

If you did not receive the standard of care that you as a patient were
entitled during a medical procedure and have suffered as a result you
may be able to make a medical negligence claim.All treatment carries
some risk and patients are warned of serious risks before they proceed
but English law awards compensation for things that go wrong if it can
be proved that the treatment was negligent, meaning the standard of
care fell below the standard generally accepted to be reasonable for
that area of medicine.

Here is a list of the most common types of clinical negligence:
Birth Injuries.
Misdiagnosis.
Surgical Errors.
Medical Establishments.
General Clinical Negligence Issues.


No amount of money is adequate compensation for some types of injury. Medical negligence compensation attempts to judge how your life has been effected. If your accident has stopped you from working or will stop you from working in the future, you can claim for loss of earnings. Or if full time medical care is needed, this all needs to be taken into account for compensation of this nature. Calculating a fair and right amount of compensation is a difficult task and each case has to be taken on it's own merits.

If you have been injured as a result of negligent medical treatment you may have a right to compensation. You must seek legal advice as quickly as possible as time restrictions are put in place. In some cases the time for making a complaint are as little as 13 weeks in other cases legal action must be taken within three years of the date you first knew, or could reasonably have been expected to know, that you have suffered an injury caused through someone else's fault.In special cases, the court has discretion to allow cases to go ahead out of time. For injury to children, proceedings have to be started before the 21st birthday. There is no time limit while a person is mentally incapable.
