Have I Suffered From Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence is a complicated area, but if you’ve suffered an injury or psychological harm after a member of medical staff, including doctors, nurses, surgeons and dentists, failed in their duty of care to you, you may be able to make a claim.

Medical negligence claims can vary greatly depending on the severity of the injury or harm caused, so if you have any questions or doubts you can contact our experienced and friendly legal advisors via our online claim form or by calling

What sort of thing can I claim for?

Many people don’t realise that the injury they’ve suffered counts as a case of medical negligence. It doesn’t matter whether your injury happened under NHS or private care – your legal entitlement to make a claim is the same.

Although medical negligence is difficult to categorise, as no two cases are alike, if you’ve suffered injuries which fit any of the examples below, you should be able to make a claim:

Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis which results in symptoms becoming worse than they would have been with proper treatment.
Errors in surgery which lead to injury, psychological harm, unnecessary pain or scarring, including complications from anaesthetic.
A failure to treat a patient through neglect, leading to further injury or harm.
Injuries suffered during childbirth for either the mother or child.
