Medical Negligence – What Is It?
A medical negligence claim is one that may be pursued in court. The goal of pursuing this kind of claim is to recover compensation for personal harm and undue pain and suffering sustained as a result of the medical professionals’ or organisations’ negligence in failing to provide proper treatment and care.
Medical malpractice may manifest itself in a variety of ways. While we may make a claim for a wide variety of problems and procedural mistakes, these are some of the areas in which we concentrate our efforts.
Medical carelessness may manifest itself in a variety of ways, including the following:
- Diagnostic delay or misdiagnosis;
- During surgery or a medical treatment, an error occurs.
- Incorrect drug administration
- Informed consent is not obtained for a surgery or treatment.
- Infections acquired during a hospital stay
- Mistakes made by midwives or obstetricians during delivery
Our experienced staff will assist you throughout the medical negligence claim process, giving direction and understanding during what may be a trying time.
The procedure of bringing a claim against a medical practitioner or healthcare organisation starts with discussing your issue with an expert specialist. Our consultants can examine your case for free over the phone to see if you have a claim for medical malpractice. To begin, we’ll gather information regarding the treatment you got in order to get the most accurate picture of the care you received and its effect on your life, and to guarantee that you receive the appropriate amount of compensation to meet your present and future needs.
Once your claim is approved, the next step is to prepare for court by acquiring medical records and other pertinent paperwork regarding the treatment you had, as well as a thorough statement. Obtaining an expert opinion is often also important to establish a breach of duty and the resulting injury. All of this work is handled by one of our skilled attorneys, and under our No Win, No Fee arrangement, we will cover all associated expenses.
What are the deadlines for submitting a claim?
Generally, you must file a lawsuit within three years of the date of treatment or the date you discovered you had received improper care. This may not become apparent until some time following therapy, when your injury or condition deteriorates. It is prudent to seek a solicitor immediately.
There are few exceptions to the three-year rule:
- Children – a claim must be initiated prior to the child reaching the age of 21.
- Mental capability — if an individual lacks the mental capacity to file a claim on their own, the three-year limitation period does not apply. However, some individuals may grow and lose capability over time.
How is a claim funded?
Medical Negligence Claims may be supported using the following mechanisms: Conditional Fee Agreements (No Win No Fee agreements)
We provide Conditional Fee Agreements (No Win No Fee Agreements) and delegated After the Event (ATE) insurance with deferred premiums (payable at the conclusion of the case) to safeguard you against any unfavourable consequences.
