Medical Negligence Compensation claims

Medical Negligence

In general the medical treatment that we receive is of the highest standards and the medical practitioners that we trust ensure our duty of care is upheld. Accidents sadly do happen and some of these accidents come as the result of our duty of care being breeched.

Over the years medical practitioners such as doctors, nurses and dentists, to name just a few have been found in breech of their duty of care for aspects such as the following:

• Failed or delayed diagnosis
• Failure to warn of risks in treatment
• Failure to obtain proper consent to treatment
• Medication errors
• Careless surgical procedures
• Delayed referral to specialists
• Meningitis Compensation
• Orthopaedic Compensation Claims
• Incorrect Prescriptions or Administration of Drugs
• Pregnancy and Birth Injuries
• Gynaecology Medical Negligence
• Anaesthetic Awareness Compensation Claims
• Cancer Misdiagnosis
• Cosmetic Surgery Medical Negligence

Anyone who works in the medical profession and has a say in the treatment of a patient owes that patient a duty of care and everything should be done to ensure that the patient is as safe as they can be. If you feel that you or your loved ones have incurred an injury due to the actions or a lack of actions by a medical professional then you may be able to make a medical negligence claim against them.

If you unfortunately do end up suffering as the result of medical negligence then your doctor or whichever medical professional it was is required by their governing body, the General Medical Council www.gmc-uk.org, to inform a patient that their treatment has gone wrong.
