What Sort of Injury Forms a Medical Negligence Claim?

It is worth speaking to an adviser, as there is no simple answer to this question. In brief, if you have suffered from inadequate or negligent medical or dental care, speak to an expert to see what your rights may be. Sometimes the effects of the negligence do not manifest until years after the treatment or diagnosis.

However, there are some common types that may give you an idea of the sorts of problems that are relevant. These are injuries to the body, such as to the spine or the brain. Other examples are misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment.

How Do You Start a Claim?

Call an adviser for an initial consultation to assess your case. If you find it is appropriate for you to proceed and you wish to do so, the matter will be referred to a solicitor with the right experience and expertise for your case.

What Happens Then?

The solicitor will run the case for you, collecting evidence and making your claim, negotiating with the other side and advising you about the process and any decisions you have to make. They will take care of the paperwork for you too. You may be eligible for the 'no win no fee' scheme which means that you don't have to pay your legal costs if you lose the case. It is usual for the other side to pay these costs if you are successful.
