Chronic Pain Compensation Claims
If you have suffered an injury or illness due to negligent medical care, you may be able to claim compensation.
Understanding chronic pain and clinical negligence
Chronic pain often arises from conditions like fibromyalgia, nerve damage, or failed surgeries. If this pain was caused or worsened by a medical professional’s negligence, it falls under clinical negligence.
Causes of chronic pain negligence include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of underlying conditions
- Incorrect or delayed treatment of pain-causing conditions
- Surgical errors that lead to chronic pain
- Medication errors resulting in persistent pain
- Inadequate pain management during and after medical procedures
Frequently asked questions

Clinical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider’s actions (or lack thereof) fall below the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. In the context of chronic pain, this might involve a failure to diagnose the underlying cause, improper treatment, or inadequate pain management. To establish a valid claim, you’ll need to demonstrate that the healthcare provider owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and that this breach directly caused or worsened your chronic pain.
