Claims For Medical Negligence In Farnborough Our Team Could Handle

Our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors has many years of experience dealing with medical negligence cases throughout the United Kingdom and we can cover Farnborough. In the upcoming paragraphs, we take a look at some of the most common claims handled by solicitors like our panel that can cover the area. This should help you to get a better understanding of the sorts of claims that could be made.

Negligent Surgical Care

The first type of claim we are going to take a look at when it comes to using the services of our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors is for surgical negligence cases. When having any type of surgery, be it necessary or cosmetic surgery, there are always going to be risks. These risks should be explained to you beforehand. However, this does not mean that negligence by your surgeon or surgical team could not lead to a claim if you’ve been caused harm because of it. Your healthcare provider has a duty to care  to provide a certain standard of care and if your surgeon has made a blunder that could have been avoided, there is a chance you will be able to make a claim. Examples could range from retained surgical instruments to an operation being executed in an incorrect manner.

Negligence Leading To Birth Injuries

You may also be able to make a claim with our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors if you or your baby has experienced an injury because of something that has gone wrong during birth due to negligent treatment. There have also been cases of maternal death in the news which could be, of course, an extremely traumatic and horrific thing for those left behind to have to deal with. When making these sorts of claims, psychological and physical injuries could both be taken into consideration. If you would like more details, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors for assistance.

Negligence At A Hospital

In addition to the claims that have already been discussed, you may also want to make a claim if you or someone you love has experienced hospital negligence. These cases could be for private or NHS negligence and could happen in many different ways too. This could be because of an individual negligent incident made by someone working at the hospital or it could be because of general poor standards.  For example, a lack of hygiene, which has resulted in you experiencing an infection or illness that could have otherwise been avoided.

Negligence At A Care Home

You may also be able to make a claim with medical negligence solicitors covering Farnborough if you or a family member has experienced negligence in a care home. There are a lot of different ways this sort of incident could happen too. Again, this could be because of an individual negligent act made by someone working at the care home, for example, a medication error, or it could be because of general poor standards, for example, a lack of hygiene, which has resulted in you experiencing an infection or illness. There have also been cases involving care home abuse over the years too. If you’ve been caused harm by negligent action or inaction taken by people who are involved in your care, then you may wish to give us a call.

Negligence By A GP

You may also be considering getting in touch with our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors if you have experienced GP negligence. When someone is not feeling very well, they turn to their GP to find out what is wrong and what they should do next. If your GP makes an error at this stage when they do not listen to your symptoms or do not follow protocol, it could mean that the entire treatment plan starts off on the wrong track, and this could be very damaging in some cases.

Negligence By A Dentist

You could also make a claim with a dental negligence solicitor if you have been the victim of dentist medical negligence. The different types of dental claims could range from negligent advice and wrong tooth extraction to your dentist damaging a healthy tooth or failing to pick up on the signs of a serious oral condition. If these have caused you pain or suffering, then you might want to look into making a claim.

Negligent Cancer Care Or Misdiagnosis

Finally, you may also be able to make a claim with our panel if you have been the victim of negligent cancer care or a misdiagnosis. Cancer is a disease that spreads at a rapid pace, and so if treatment is not provided quickly and correctly, it could result in devastating consequences.
