What is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence, occurs when a medical professional fails to meet the standard of care expected of them, resulting in harm or injury to the patient. This can take many forms, including medication errors, hospital negligence, and misdiagnosis. Our experienced solicitors specialize in all types of medical negligence claims, including birth injury claims, stillborn birth injury claims, and claims against GPs and hospitals.

Types of Medical Negligence Compensation Claims

Clinical negligence can lead to a wide range of injuries, from mild to life-changing and debilitating. Our solicitors are experts in helping individuals claim compensation for their suffering, which can include:

• Brain injuries such as cerebral palsy
• Surgical injuries or complications
• Anaesthesia-related errors
• Medication errors
• Cancer misdiagnosis or oncology negligence
• Orthopaedic negligence
• MRSA negligence or other hospital infections
• Cosmetic and private treatment errors
• Care home and nursing home negligence

Can I Make a Medical Negligence Claim?

To make a claim, you must meet certain criteria:

• The medical professional breached the duty of care they owed you
• As a result of the breach, you suffered an injury

What Happens When I Make a Claim?

If you want to claim compensation, our medical negligence solicitors will guide you through the process. We'll:

• Carry out a free evaluation of your claim to determine its value and viability
• Make a formal offer of representation and represent you on a No Win No Fee basis
• Compile evidence to support your case, including a report from an independent medical expert
• Negotiate with the opposing legal representatives to settle the claim

What Evidence Do I Need?

To support your claim, you may need to gather evidence, such as:

• Letters from the hospital/healthcare facility
• Medical notes
• Visual evidence (e.g., photographs of physical injuries)
• Witness statements

How Long Do I Have to Make a Medical Negligence Claim?

In the UK, medical negligence claims must be started within three years from the date of the negligence or the date when the injury or illness became apparent. However, there are exceptions to this time limit, such as when a child is harmed by medical negligence or when an adult lacks the mental capacity to represent themselves.

What is a No Win No Fee Agreement?

At Medical Negligece Assist, we're committed to providing a No Win No Fee agreement to all our clients. This means that if we're unable to secure compensation on your behalf, you won't have to pay any legal fees. This way, you can claim compensation for your medical negligence without any financial risk.
