What Is Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence occurs when a hospital, GP, nurse, consultant or healthcare professional fails to provide the level of care that a reasonably competent practitioner would. This failure can result in avoidable injury, delayed diagnosis or worsening of an existing condition.
Common examples include:
-
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
-
Surgical errors
-
Birth injuries
-
Medication mistakes
-
Negligent medical advice
-
Poor aftercare or follow-up
-
Injuries in A&E or urgent care
-
Hospital-acquired infections
If something went wrong with your treatment and you feel it could have been avoided, you may be entitled to bring a medical negligence claim.
