What Is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence - sometimes called clinical negligence — happens when a healthcare professional or institution provides care that falls below the standard you are legally entitled to expect, and that failure directly causes you harm. It applies to NHS and private providers alike.

COULD YOU CLAIM?

Signs You May Have a Medical Negligence Claim

You do not need to be certain before speaking to us. If any of the following feel familiar, it is worth having a free, confidential conversation with one of our specialists.

Your condition was diagnosed late or missed altogether

A timely diagnosis can be the difference between effective treatment and lasting harm. If your condition was not identified when it should have been, we can help assess whether negligence played a role.

You suffered complications that feel avoidable

Not all complications are negligence — but some are. If your recovery was significantly worse than expected and you were not adequately warned or cared for, there may be a case to answer.

A GP failed to refer you or dismissed your symptoms

Being repeatedly told your symptoms are minor, or failing to be referred to a specialist when you should have been, can constitute clinical negligence when harm results.

Failure to obtain informed consent

You were not properly informed before a procedure

You have a legal right to be fully informed of the risks before consenting to treatment. If a material risk was not disclosed and you would have chosen differently, this may ground a claim.

You are still suffering - physically or financially

Ongoing pain, disability, loss of earnings, care costs and psychological harm are all compensable. Even if the original treatment was some time ago, you may still be within the time limit.

Understanding Medical Negligence Compensation

Compensation is designed to put you back, as far as money can, in the position you would have been in had the negligence not occurred. Every claim is assessed individually.

INDICATIVE RANGE

  
      Minor clinical injury, full recovery
      Up to £5,000
    
      Moderate injury, partial recovery
      £5,000 - £25,000
    
      Serious injury, lasting impact
      £25,000 - £100,000
    
      Severe / life-changing harm
      £100,000 - £500,000+
    
      Catastrophic / brain / spinal injury
      £500,000 to £1m+

How Long Do You Have To Make A Claim?

You generally have three years to start a claim, from either the date of the negligence, or the date you realised it caused you harm. Miss this window, and even a strong case can lose its right to compensation, so it's worth getting advice early.
