Medical or clinical negligence
Medical negligence can take place at any point whilst receiving medical attention, from an initial GP visit to surgery and aftercare. This can happen in several ways; including misdiagnosis, mistakes made during surgery or being given the incorrect treatment. When malpractice results in unnecessary suffering and consequences for you or your loved ones, you may be entitled to make a medical negligence claim.
All medical professionals have a duty of care towards their patients, and when that duty of care is breached, the medical body in question should be held to account. Processing a claim can also help prevent the same mistake from happening again; as this drives a thorough investigation to be organised and the mistake is subsequently examined and reported.
How to make medical negligence claim
Our expert team at NDG Solicitors will support you throughout the process of making a medical negligence claim, providing guidance and empathy during what can be a difficult experience and time for you and those affected.
The process of claiming against a medical professional or healthcare organisation begins with speaking to an experienced specialist about your situation. We can assess your case over the phone for free to determine whether you have a claim for medical negligence.
First, we will collect details about the treatment you received to allow the best possible understanding of the care you received and how it has impacted your life, so that we can ensure that you receive the right amount of compensation to cover your current and future needs.
Once your medical negligence claim/matter has been accepted by us, the next stage is to prepare for the case by obtaining medical records and relevant documentation related to the care you received, as well as a detailed statement. Getting an expert opinion is often also necessary to confirm breach of duty and the subsequent harm that you endured. All this work is completed by one of our expert lawyers, and we will pay for all fees involved under our ‘No win, no fee’ agreement.
