Medical negligence
If you, or someone you know, have suffered due to a mistake by a medical professional, compensation may be due.
Medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence, is when you’ve suffered physical injury, mental illness or undue distress because a healthcare professional failed to give you appropriate care.
Medical negligence includes misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, errors in prescribing and administering medication, surgical errors, failure to obtain informed consent and failure to provide appropriate treatment or follow-up care.
If you’ve experienced medical negligence, you may be able to seek compensation. As well as a financial settlement, this can include further medical treatment and funding for care, loss of earnings and home adaptations.

Proving That Medical Negligence Occurred
To prove that medical negligence occurred, we’ll need evidence that:

- They failed in this duty of care
- You experienced harm or injury as a direct result of this failure
- This harm or injury caused you financial loss and personal suffering
We can help you gather this evidence.
