Claiming Compensation for Negligent Cardiac Care
If you or a loved one are suffering ongoing problems due to negligent care of heart-related problems, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation.
Negligent cardiac care
Negligent medical care of a heart issue may relate to examination, recognition of symptoms, diagnosis or misdiagnosis, the nature of treatment, referral delays or failures and red flag advice among other possible problems.
The consequences of negligent care may vary in nature and severity. The patient may suffer additional health conditions as a result of the negligence, they may suffer long-term disability and reduced well-being, they may even die.
If the patient's quality of life is significantly reduced due to their negligent medical care, they may be able to make a claim. A successful claim would address issues of financial losses, such as a loss of income if the patient can no longer work, or the costs of personal care if this is required in order for the patient to function effectively and safely.
Making a claim for compensation
The first thing to be aware of is that claims for compensation for medical negligence have a legal deadline. Any claim must be issued with a court within three years of the date of the alleged negligence.
In order to make a claim, it must be demonstrated both that an act of negligence did, in fact, occur during the course of your medical care, and that the negligence caused a worse long-term outcome than would have been the case with an appropriate level of care.
Assessing the quality of your medical care and its impact requires the input of a specialist solicitor and the best medical experts. They will obtain your medical records and investigate the treatment you received at the hands of medical professionals.
If it appears that you have, indeed, suffered from negligence, a further assessment of the nature and value of your claim will be undertaken.
