Claims For Medical Negligence In Gosport Our Team Could Handle

Our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors have experience dealing with medical negligence cases throughout the United Kingdom and we can certainly cover claims in Gosport. You may be wondering: what is considered negligence by a doctor? What is considered neglect in a nursing home? These sorts of questions are commonly asked. Therefore, below we have put together some details about the common claim types to give you a better understanding.

Negligent Surgical Care

There is no denying that there are risks associated with all types of surgeries. So, what is medical malpractice in this sense? Well, just because there are risks does not mean surgeons are excused when it comes to mistakes that occur because of their negligence. From damage to the organs during surgery to the wrong sort of operation being carried out, no matter what has happened, if there has been an error that could have been avoided, and you’d suffered harm, you may be able to make a claim with our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors.

Negligence Leading To Birth Injuries

You may also be able to make a claim with medical negligence solicitors covering Gosport if you have been the victim of an injury during birth that was down to negligence. Our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors have experience handling claims regarding birth injury as well as handling claims whereby the baby has been injured. These cases could happen when it has not been noticed that the child or mother was in distress, when incorrect birth tools were used, or where infection control was not up to standard. These situations could cause lifelong injuries or chronic illness and could be very difficult to come to terms with.

Negligence At A Hospital

In addition to the examples that have already been mentioned, our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors may be able to assist you if you have experienced hospital negligence. This could be negligence at an NHS or private hospital. You simply need to show that you have experienced an illness or injury that could have been avoided, for example, you may have picked up an infection because of poor hygiene levels at the hospital in question. Or, you could have experienced a negligent misdiagnosis by a hospital doctor that made your condition worse. If negligence has caused you harm, then you could look into making a claim.

Negligence At A Care Home

You could also be able to make a claim with medical negligence solicitors covering Gosport if you or someone you love has suffered neglect at a care home. There have been a number of cases in the news about care home abuse. These are very worrying, and although rare, they clearly do happen. Other forms of negligence could range from sanitation problems to medication blunders. If you or a loved one have been harmed in some way by negligence at a care home, you might be able to claim. Please contact one of our advisors today to discuss your circumstances.

Negligence By A GP

Most people may make an appointment to see a GP if they are feeling unwell and are unaware of the cause. You rely on your GP to give you an accurate diagnosis so that you could get the treatment and assistance that you need. You also rely on your GP to refer you to a specialist if they cannot diagnose your symptoms. If your GP makes a mistake in diagnosing you or with what they prescribe you for example, and you suffer because of this, this sort of incident could result in a claim. For more information regarding GP negligence, please read here.

Negligence By A Dentist

Our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors could also assist in dental negligence claims. Some examples could include:

  • The wrong tooth being extracted.
  • Negligent dental advice.
  • Failure to pick up on the signs of oral cancer or another condition.
  • Damaging a healthy tooth during treatment.

If your oral health or general health, or even your mental health have worsened because of negligence in dentistry, then a claim could be possible.

Negligent Cancer Care Or Misdiagnosis

You may also require the help of our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors if you are trying to reach a cancer misdiagnosis settlement. Cancer is a disease that could spread at an often-frightening pace. Therefore, if you do not receive the treatment required quickly, it could spread to other parts of the body. There are protocols to be followed when it is suspected a person may have cancer, and if they are not, it could result in a patient not receiving treatment as they should. If this causes the disease to become worse, then you could put forth a claim.
