How To Find The Right Clinical Negligence Solicitor For Your Case

There are lots of medical negligence solicitors in Grays and across the UK to choose from. However, it is not just a case of any medical negligence solicitor will do the same job as another. You may need to narrow down your search correctly to make sure that the best person is going to be working on your case. Here are some of the factors you may wish to consider…

  • Experience – The first thing you might need to do is take a look at the solicitor’s level of experience. How many years have they been working in the personal injury law sector?
  • Relevant experience – Has the medical negligence lawyer in question handled cases similar to yours before? You may need to find someone that specialises in both the private and NHS complaints process.
  • Track record – The last thing you might want to do is go for the services of a personal injury solicitor that has lost more cases than they have won. Be sure to enquire about their track record.
  • No win no fee – Perhaps one of the most important pieces of advice we often give is to choose a personal injury lawyer that works to a no win no fee payment agreement. By doing this, the risk is diminished by a significant degree because you will only pay legal fees to your solicitor if your case is a success.
  • Good reputation – You may wish to take the time to read comments that have been left by clients that have used the services provided by the medical negligence solicitors in Grays  or based elsewhere but covering Grays in question. By doing this, you will be able to tell the difference between a good solicitor for your case and one who you might not be wise to choose.
  • Communication – Last but not least, effective channels of communication should be established from the offset. The last thing you may want to do is be diverted to voicemail every time you try to get in touch with your solicitor.

Claims For Medical Negligence In Grays Our Panel Of Experts 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 easily assist with claims in Grays although we aren’t based there. Below, we will take a look at the difference types of medical negligence claims that have been made in the Grays area.

Negligent Surgical Care

The first example we are going to take a look at is surgical injuries. While all surgeries have risks, this does not mean that mistakes should occur due to negligence. If the surgeon or anaesthetist has made a negligent error, for example, they have operated on the wrong limb or given you the wrong dosage of anaesthesia causing adverse effects on your health.   If you have suffered avoidable harm due to surgical negligence you may be able to make a claim.

Negligence Leading To Birth Injuries

You may also be able to make a claim with our panel of medical negligence solicitors as an alternative to medical negligence solicitors in Grays if you or your baby have suffered unnecessarily due to negligent birth injuries. For example, medical staff failing to notice that your baby was in distress  which could lead your baby to suffer from brain injuries, or instances whereby the placenta is retained causing  the mother to suffer due to a preventable infection. If an avoidable infection occurred because of failing standards within the hospital or birthing centre, there could be sufficient grounds to pursue a claim for damages.

Negligence At A Hospital

In addition to the examples that have already been discussed, our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors may be able to help if you want to make a claim against the NHS or a private hospital if you have suffered due to hospital negligence.  Due to the various services that hospitals provide, negligence could occur if standards are not always kept at the expected level. If a medical professional breaches their duty of care and a patient is caused preventable harm or their current condition is allowed to worsen due to negligent treatment, this may be classed as hospital negligence.

Negligence that causes illness or injury or worsening of health conditions could include failure to dispense medicine, poor sanitation, failure to supply relevant mobility support, or even care home abuse.

Negligence By A GP

When feeling unwell, you might count on your GP to diagnose what is wrong and to ensure you get the treatment you need as quickly as possible. Therefore, if mistakes are made, it could mean you end up on the completely wrong treatment path. This could cause damage in two ways. Firstly,  your condition could be misdiagnosed for an entirely different condition which means that your current condition could be allowed to worsen unnecessarily. Or secondly due to a misdiagnosis you may be prescribed medication for an illness that you do not have  which had caused adverse effects on your health.
