How to Make a Medical Negligence
Compensation Claims

Medical negligence is poor medical care provided by a healthcare
professional to a patient, which has directly contributed to an
injury or worsens an existing condition. Negligent treatment can
happen in a number of ways, including misdiagnosis, s​ urgical
errors or d​ elayed treatment.​ If you have been a victim of
substandard care and have suffered an injury or illness as a result,
you may be entitled to a compensation claim.

How Do I Make a Claim?

To make a successful ​medical negligence compensation
claim, the first thing you need to do is get in touch with one of our

specialist solicitors. We will help you manage the process by
trying to understand events surrounding your case via a free
initial consultation. After the consultation, we will request your
medical records and work closely with independent medical
experts, who will evaluate your case and give their opinion on
whether you have suffered negligent treatment.

If we believe you have a valid medical negligence claim, we will
begin legal action on your behalf.

How Much Can I Expect for ​Medical Negligence​?

Every medical negligence case is unique. The compensation you
can expect will depend on the nature of your injury, its impact on
your life and its impact on your current and future earning
prospects. When our ​Medical Negligence Solicitors help you
make a claim, they consider a number of things such as:

● The pain and suffering you have experienced. While this
does not have a specific monetary value, the
compensation you receive will depend on the severity of
pain and suffering.

● Financial losses you have incurred such as medical
equipment you have acquired to aid your daily living as
well as cost of travel for medical appointments.

● Home adaptations
● Cost of current and future medical care
● Earnings you have lost due to the injury. You may also be

able to make a claim for future estimated earnings if the
injury has impacted your ability to continue work.
● Cost of medical procedures you need after the negligent
treatment

The panel of specialist medical negligence solicitors we work with
will use all of the information gotten from you to ensure you
receive the maximum compensation you deserve.

Can I Make a ​Claim Against the NHS​ for Medical
Negligence?

Yes, you can. If you have been injured or your condition has been
made worse due to medical negligence on the part of an NHS trust
or medical professional, you may be entitled to a compensation
claim. Medical negligence claims against the NHS can be
daunting, but our specialist ​NHS solicitors can walk you
through the process and help you get access to justice.
