Hospital Negligence Claims

When we are seriously ill or injured, we rely on hospitals and their tireless team of staff to take care of us. Hospitals deal with short term and long term treatment, emergency cases and operations. Individuals showing signs of more serious medical conditions are also sent to hospitals to see specialists for diagnostic purposes, for example, someone showing signs of cancer will be referred to a specialist who could investigate further.

Unfortunately, improper applications of proper medical standards may result in hospital negligence. This could be private hospital negligence or NHS negligence. We have included some examples of potential hospital medical negligence below:

  • Anaesthetic related complications.
  • Surgical errors causing the patient an unnecessary injury.
  • MRSA
  • Errors in the dispensing or dosage of a medication causing illness.
  • Misdiagnosis of an illness, disease or medical condition allowing the condition to worsen.

If you have been injured, made ill or had your existing medical condition worsened by medical negligence at an NHS hospital or private hospital, you could be entitled to compensation. Call Medical Negligence Assist today, to see if you are entitled to claim compensation. If you have legitimate grounds to claim, we will provide you with an excellent medical negligence solicitor to handle your claim.

Negligence During Surgery

In rare instances, medical negligence could happen during surgery if standards are allowed to fall. In extreme cases, this could happen because of a lack of communication between medical staff. For example, a doctor could write the wrong notes for a patient, telling a surgeon to amputate the wrong leg, or operate on the wrong organ. These are extreme cases with very serious consequences for the patient. Other issues may include a complication relating to anaesthetic, infections or foreign bodies becoming stuck inside a patient.

If you have been injured or had your medical condition worsened because of negligence during surgery, speak to Medical Negligence Assist about claiming compensation. Any of our panel of medical negligence solicitors could cover the Coventry area, so you’re bound to find the right lawyer to handle your claim.

Maternity And Childbirth Negligence

Maternity negligence may include doctors, nurses or midwives making medical mistakes or misdiagnosing a mother’s condition during pregnancy. In order to pursue a claim though such maternity negligence must have had an effect on the foetus’ health or the expectant mother. Alternatively, medical negligence could happen during childbirth for example; failing to notice distress in the foetus or using the wrong delivery tools which have caused injuries. This could cause birth injuries that may have lifelong effects. If the foetus is not correctly monitored, the medical staff may miss signs of hypoxia in the foetus, which could cause the child to develop cerebral palsy.

If you or your child were harmed because of negligence on the part of a doctor, midwife or nurse during pregnancy or childbirth, you could potentially be entitled to claim medical negligence compensation. Call Medical Negligence Assist today to find the right medical negligence solicitor covering the Coventry area, to handle your claim for maternity or childbirth negligence.

Late Diagnosis And Misdiagnosis Of Cancer

Unfortunately cancer is a time bound illness, which means that it worsens over time. Therefore getting an early diagnosis and the appropriate treatment could make a big difference to how easy it is to treat. In extreme cases it could make the difference as to whether or not the patient survives their illness. Therefore having a doctor misdiagnose cancer, or dismiss the symptoms of cancer is a devastating ordeal to go through. If you have been harmed because of the misdiagnosis of cancer, you may be entitled to claim damages. In the very tragic situation that your next of kin relative died because of cancer misdiagnosis negligence, then you could also be entitled to claim compensation on their behalf.

GP Malpractice Or Negligence

When we, or our families become ill or injured, a GP is often the first port of call. If GP’s suspect that the patient is suffering from a more serious malady, they should refer them to see a specialist who could provide them with a diagnosis and treatment, if it is necessary. Unfortunately, if GP’s do not recognise that patients need to be transferred for testing or to see a specialist then their condition maybe allowed to worsen. Instances of misdiagnosis may include prescribing the wrong dosage or type of medicine, failing to spot the signs of a serious illness, or or not providing the necessary treatment that is needed.

If you have been made injured, ill, or had an existing medical condition worsened because of negligence on the part of your GP in Coventry, call us to see if you are entitled to claim compensation.

If you were injured because of negligence on the part of a dentist, dental nurse, orthodontist or another medical practitioner, you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries if it can be proven that another health care provider of similar experience and qualification would have not acted in the same way.

Care Home Negligence Causing Injury Or Illness

Care homes do an excellent job taking care of some of the most vulnerable people in our society. They include individuals that are elderly, infirm or who have reduced mental capacity. It is very important that care homes and nursing homes have proper procedures in place to protect their residents. Unfortunately, care home and nursing home residents are vulnerable to abuse or neglect. Therefore, care homes are supposed to implement safeguarding procedures to prevent these sorts of despicable actions happening. If a care home has failed to do so, and a resident has become injured as a result, a next of kin relation of the resident could be entitled to claim compensation on their behalf depending on their circumstances. Other acts of negligence in a care home that could lead to residents becoming harmed could include: accidents whilst washing the person, a resident being given the wrong medication or accidents using hoisting equipment.
