MENU What is Medical/Clinical Negligence Most Clinical Negligence cases involve one of the following: A Delay in diagnosis which reduces prospects of recovery being reduced Poorly performed surgery Incorrect treatment The failure of a medical device or product A bad reaction to a medication or drug Failure to get consent for treatment which then results in a poor outcome What do we have to prove? In a Clinical Negligence claim we will need to prove that the treatment you received: a.)Was substandard in that it fell below the lowest acceptable standard of that treating medical professional b.)Caused you to suffer injury or a poorer outcome than you were entitled to expect Both of these elements must be proven for the case to succeed. We will employ medical specialists on your behalf to give their opinion about the treatment that you received. Expert opinion is vital to the success of the claim. How to fund your claim Your case will be funded in a way that minimises financial risk or outlay to you. We will make sure any suitable legal cover you already have is utilised to your best advantage. Where you have Union cover or an entitlement to legal aid we will advise you of such entitlement. Where you need the support of Legal Expense Insurance we will use a product that is suitable to provide this cover. The next steps We provide you with an action plan of what needs to be done, by whom, how it is to be done and when it is to be done. That way you will know what is happening in the case and when it is happening. What are the different types of medical negligence claims?
