Understanding Medical Negligence

Medical negligence (also called clinical negligence) occurs when a healthcare professional breaches their duty of care, resulting in harm that could have been avoided.

Our Medical Negligence Services

Hospital Negligence

We handle claims against both NHS and private hospitals for errors including surgical mistakes, hospital-acquired infections, and inadequate care.

GP and Primary Care Negligence

When misdiagnosis, delayed referrals, or prescription errors by GPs cause harm, we help establish liability and secure appropriate compensation.

Birth injuries

Our sensitive approach supports families affected by birth trauma, maternal injuries, and other birth-related negligence.

Surgical errors

From unnecessary surgery to retained surgical instruments and anaesthetic complications, we help you navigate these complex claims.

Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis

When critical conditions like cancer, heart disease, or infections are missed or diagnosed late, we help you seek justice for the resulting harm.

Medication errors

Incorrect prescriptions, dosage mistakes, or administration errors can have serious consequences – we’ll help establish what went wrong.

Substandard dental treatment can lead to permanent damage, unnecessary pain, and cosmetic issues that we can help you address.
