How To Find A Clinical Negligence Solicitor

What is medical negligence? All medical practitioners have a legal duty of care towards their patients. Having a duty of care means that they are obliged to provide a patient with an expected standard of care. A definition of medical negligence may be that a medical professional provides substandard care and which in turn does not uphold their duty of care towards the patient, which results in the patient suffering unnecessary harm. If the patient becomes ill, injured or has their existing medical condition worsened because of this medical negligence, then they may be eligible to pursue a claim for damages. In negligence cases where the practitioner was guilty of gross negligence (for example, a surgeon operating on a patient under the influence of alcohol or drugs), then the medical practitioner could lose their license to practise. Examples of medical negligence may include a doctor prescribing a patient the wrong dosage of medicine which causes adverse effects, a doctor failing to spot the signs of a serious illness and refer a patient to a specialist for further tests and treatment causing the condition to worsen, or a dentist extracting the wrong teeth.

If you have been injured, made ill, or had your existing medical condition worsened because of medical negligence in Blackburn, you could be owed compensation for your suffering. You will need an excellent medical negligence solicitor to handle your medical negligence claim for compensation as such cases can be complex to say the least.
