Medical Negligence

Medical negligence in Hastings is by no means uncommon. Although the majority of medical procedures are carried out without any problems, the relatively few mistakes that do occur each year can prove devastating for those concerned.

Medical negligence occurs when a health professionals breach their duty of care to the patient and cause some kind of harm. It must also be shown that professional in question has deviated from the standards upheld by a responsible body of medical opinion.

Most cases of medical negligence are settled out of court, with many involving substantial compensation awards. Types of medical negligence include prescription errors, misdiagnoses, poor emergency-response times, surgical errors and inappropriate or inadequate treatment.
