Specialist Medical Negligence Solicitors
If you think that you or a loved one may have been the victim of negligent medical care and are wondering if you may be able to make a claim for compensation, you would be best advised to speak to a solicitor who specialises in this field of law.
Making a compensation claim for medical negligence
Compensation claims for medical negligence are extremely complex and require the skills of someone with considerable expertise in this specific area.
In order to make a claim for compensation, it must be evident both that a breach of duty or substandard care occurred and that it caused you to suffer a worse outcome than would have been the case with an appropriate level of care.
Before you initiate a claim, a legal specialist will need to investigate whether or not this is the case. A specialist solicitor will be able to access your medical records and engage the services of the best medical consultants to analyse the quality of your care and identify whether or not you appear to have been the victim of negligence. If this is the case, they will, furthermore, consider the ways in which this has affected you and its impact on your quality of life.
Successful claims
If you are found to have suffered a poor outcome, a successful compensation claim will not only address issues of pain and suffering but will also take account of any financial losses, both past and future, which you have experienced as a result of the negligence.
For example, if negligent medical care has left you unable to work, when competent care of your condition would not have done so, you may be legally entitled to make a claim for your loss of earnings. Additional costs caused by your unanticipated symptoms and their impact would also be taken into account.
When to make a claim
It is important to bear in mind the timing associated with compensation claims for negligent medical care. Claims must be issued within three years of the date of the alleged negligence. So, make sure that you contact a legal specialist at the earliest moment to discuss the possibility of making a claim.
