Fatal Claims in Clinical Negligence Compensation
The death of a loved one following negligent medical care may justify a claim for compensation. Speak to Glynns Solicitors, specialists in medical negligence law.
Can I make a claim?
If a loved one has unfortunately died as a result of negligent medical care, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation. The best way to proceed is to talk to a specialist medical negligence solicitor who will be able to advise you as to whether or not you may have a claim.
They will investigate the quality of your loved one's medical care and whether or not there was, indeed, a breach of duty or an act of negligence. In order to make the most accurate assessment of the medical provision, your solicitor will engage the services of the best medical experts who will analyse your loved one's medical records.
If they find that your loved one was the victim of negligent healthcare, it may be possible to make a claim.
Making a claim
The death of a loved one, especially when it is unexpected, can be a traumatic time. If their death has had a significant financial impact on you, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation if negligent medical care has caused or contributed to their early death.
However, it is important to bear in mind that claims for compensation for medical negligence need to be initiated within three years of the date of the alleged negligence.
Examples of negligent care which may have led to this terrible outcome could include a failure to diagnose a heart condition, a negligent bowel perforation which triggers sepsis and a delay in the diagnosis of a severe infection amongst many other examples.
