Medical Negligence Compensation for Healthcare Failings
Speak to Glynns Solicitors if you or a loved one are struggling
with your health or physical well-being and suspect that you have been
the victim of poor-quality healthcare.
The impact of substandard healthcare
Severe failings in healthcare can have significant implications not only for the health and physical integrity of the patient but for their broader quality of life.
An individual may be left disabled in some ways and struggling to cope financially due to the impact of their symptoms.
Psychologically, the impact can also be insidious and debilitating, leaving a person feeling isolated, powerless and struggling with a sense of injustice due to what has occurred.
A successful claim for compensation will not turn back time and cannot undo the physical damage that has been done but it can provide a sense that justice has been done and can give the individual affected the financial means to address their many challenges and compensate for their financial losses.
Substandard healthcare
Whether the substandard medical care occurs in the GP surgery, in conversation with NHS 111 or in hospital, whether it relates to diagnosis or surgery, monitoring or medication, and whether it affects someone young or old, it can cause permanent disability of varying forms and severity, including the following:
- Reduced mobility
- Bowel problems
- Cognitive difficulties
- Vision problems
- Bladder difficulties
- Pain and discomfort
- Psychological issues
Of course, in the most severe of cases, it may cause the death of the patient.
When to make a claim
It is important to bear in mind that claims for compensation have to be issued with a court within three years of the date of the alleged negligence, and that an investigation into the patient’s quality of care needs to be carried out before that deadline.
If you suspect medical negligence, it is important to act promptly.
Speak to a medical negligence solicitor who will be able to investigate your care.
Ensure that you have the details of your symptoms, condition and relevant medical interactions, surgery and treatment as relevant so that you can provide your solicitor with a comprehensive description of what has occurred, where and when.
They will then help you to develop a witness statement and obtain copies of your medical records to investigate the quality of your care.
If you have been the victim of negligent care which has caused a poor outcome, you may then be able to make a claim.
