At National Claims, we’re committed to fighting for your rights and securing the compensation you deserve. We understand the complexities of medical negligence claims and have a network of specialist solicitors ready to help you navigate the legal process.
Understanding Medical Negligence
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional breaches their duty of care towards a patient, resulting in harm. This can manifest in various forms, including:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: A failure to correctly diagnose a condition or a delay in doing so can lead to serious consequences, such as the progression of an illness or the need for more extensive treatment.
- Surgical errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong part of the body or leaving surgical instruments inside a patient, can cause severe complications and long-term disability.
- Medication errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, administering an incorrect dosage, or failing to consider a patient’s allergies can have serious adverse effects.
- Birth injuries: Negligence during childbirth can result in injuries to both mother and baby, such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or brachial plexus injuries.
- Inadequate aftercare: Failure to provide proper post-treatment care or monitor a patient’s condition can lead to complications and further health problems.
The Impact of Serious Injuries
Serious injuries resulting from medical negligence can have a profound and lasting impact on a person’s life. These injuries can lead to:
- Chronic pain: Many serious injuries cause ongoing pain, which can significantly affect a person’s quality of life and ability to work.
- Disability: Severe injuries can result in permanent disability, limiting a person’s mobility, independence, and ability to perform daily tasks.
- Psychological trauma: The experience of medical negligence and the resulting injuries can cause psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Financial hardship: Medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and loss of income due to an inability to work can create significant financial strain for individuals and their families.
