What Sort of Sums Can You Claim in Compensation for Medical Negligence?

The sums vary depending on the injury or ailment and the circumstances of the case, but thousands can easily be paid out for medical negligence. If you speak to a specialist adviser or solicitor, they can give you some idea of sums for your particular set of circumstances. For example, back injuries may attract compensation of up to £21,500.

What Does Medical Negligence Cover?

There is no definitive list of ailments and injuries, but if you have suffered from negligent or inadequate medical or dental care, you may have a good case. Common areas include childbirth, surgery, injuries to the spine and brain and faulty implants such as hip replacements. The best rule of thumb is to take initial advice for your own personal, particular circumstances.

What Is the Procedure?

An adviser would discuss your case in an initial consultation. If you have a likely case and if you want to proceed, the matter would then be passed to a medical negligence solicitor who would advise you, negotiate for you and deal with the paperwork on your behalf. You may even be entitled to no win no fee arrangements, which mean you would not be liable for legal costs if you lose the case.
