Making a compensation claim for a case of medical negligence can be an extremely complex undertaking and it is essential that expert representation is sought. While it is tempting, and seemingly simpler, to instruct a trusted family solicitor, it is unlikely that they will possess the necessary expertise in matters such as these.
Medical negligence is rare – but it can happen
We are very fortunate in this country that instances of medical negligence are very rare. Most people receive any
treatment they require without any problems at all. But in a small number of cases treatment can go wrong, and if this requires
further intervention or makes the existing injury or condition worse, then a compensation claim should be considered.
Help to make a claim
Sensational news stories in the press can make it seem as though cases of medical negligence are very frequent.
Statistically, they are not. But unfortunately, some people are harmed while in hospital by infections caused by the MRSA
virus, for example, or human error incidents. When this happens, the result can be catastrophic and even fatal. If this has
happened to you or a member of your family, then we can help you to make a compensation claim.
Compensation can help get life back on track
Making a compensation claim under these circumstances is not about getting revenge, and does not imply a lack of
appreciation for the very great good that our health service does most of the time. But illness and injury can have far-reaching
financial implications for many people, and the right to make a compensation claim takes this into account.
