Steps To Help You Find The Right Solicitor

All medical practitioners have a legal “duty of care” towards their patients. This means that they are legally obliged to provide their patients with the minimum standard of treatment. Therefore, if a medical practitioner such as a doctor, nurse or dentist provides the patient with substandard care, and the patient is injured, made ill, or has their pre-existing medical condition worsened as a result, this is defined as medical negligence. If you have been harmed because of medical negligence, also called medical malpractice, or clinical negligence, then you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries. If you are successful, you will be awarded compensation for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity that you have experienced and will also be reimbursed for any expenses associated with your injuries. In Britain, there is a medical negligence claims time limit of three years from the diagnosis of avoidable injuries.

Finding a solicitor to handle your claim can be a daunting process. We have included some advice below about what to look for when finding a medical negligence solicitor to handle your claim.

Lanarkshire Medical Negligence Claims You Could Make

Potential clients often ask us under what conditions they could make a medical negligence claim. If your injuries, illness or existing medical condition were caused by negligence on the part of a medical practitioner you could have grounds to claim. We will now look at the different types of medical negligence claims our clients make, in more detail below.

Medical Negligence Claims Against Hospitals

When we are seriously ill, injured or require specialist treatment, we trust hospitals to provide us with the best possible care. If we receive substandard care whilst in hospital, this can result in us becoming injured or ill in a new way, or our existing medical condition getting even worse. Many of our clients make claims for hospital and medical negligence, after experiencing medical negligence in hospital. Clients can also make a claim on behalf of a next of kin relative who died because of hospital and medical negligence.

If you have experienced medical negligence at NHS Lanarkshire hospital, NHS Beckford Lodge, or another hospital near Hamilton we have a panel of hospital negligence lawyers to handle your claim.

Claims Against A Surgeon

Have you been injured or made ill because of surgical negligence? Then you could be entitled to make a claim against a hospital for surgical negligence. Examples of negligence in surgery include; a surgeon amputating the wrong limb, due to incorrect patient notes. Other examples of negligence in surgery include issues caused by the incorrect use of anaesthetic, surgeons inserting a mesh incorrectly or a foreign body being left inside the patient.

Negligence Claims Against Your GP Or GP Surgery

When we or our family members suffer from minor illnesses or injuries, our local GP is usually our first port of call. We also rely on our GP to refer us to a specialist hospital department, for diagnosis and treatment if we are showing signs of a serious medical condition. If a GP fails to deliver the expected standard of care, for example, prescribing too high a dosage of medicine to the patient, this can result in the patient becoming injured or ill. Similarly, if the GP fails to spot the signs of a serious medical condition such as cancer and refer them to a specialist, this can result in the patient’s condition worsening and becoming more difficult to treat in the future.

Medical Negligence Assist can provide you with a specialist compensation lawyer to handle your medical negligence claim against your GP. Our panel of medical negligence solicitors can cover the Hamilton area, so call today to begin the first step in the medical negligence claims process.

Negligence Causing A Harmful Birth

Pregnancy and childbirth are critical times when it is vital that both the mother and baby receive the highest possible standard of care. Unfortunately, if they receive substandard care on the part of a gynaecologist, midwife or another healthcare professional, this can cause birth injuries that can affect the mother or the child and have lifelong consequences.

If you or your child has been injured because of negligence during pregnancy or childbirth, you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries. Call us today, to see if you are entitled to claim and if you have any right to compensation, we will provide you with a medical negligence solicitor covering the Hamilton area.

Negligence Claims Against Care Homes

Care homes and nursing homes play an important role in the lives of their residents, providing round the clock residential care for people who cannot care for themselves. Unfortunately, if the residents aren’t provided with the best possible standards of care, they can become injured or ill as a result. Examples of negligence in a care home can include; injuring a patient whilst moving them, giving patients the wrong sort of medication, or deliberate abuse.

If you have been injured because of negligence at a care home in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, you could be entitled to claim compensation. Alternatively, if you have a relative who is not sound of mind, who was injured in a care home because of negligence, you could be entitled to claim compensation for their injuries.

Negligence Claims Against A Dentist Or Dental Practice

Have you been a victim of dental negligence in Scotland? Whether you were injured because of inadequate care in medical dental treatment, orthodontic treatment or cosmetic dentistry treatment, you could be entitled to claim compensation. Examples of negligence in dentistry include; a dentist failing to spot the signs of oral cancer, an orthodontist negligently injuring a patient’s mouth when inserting or removing braces, or a cosmetic dentistry procedure not going as planned, damaging the patient’s appearance and causing them psychological harm.

If you have experienced dental negligence in Hamilton, Scotland, speak to us about a clinical negligence claim. We can provide you with lawyers covering Hamilton Scotland to handle your claim promptly.

Misdiagnosis And Cancer

Unfortunately, cancer is time-bound, which means that it can worsen rapidly if it is not caught early. Therefore, if a doctor or oncologist failed to spot the signs of your cancer, this can be truly devastating, as it can make your cancer more difficult to treat than necessary. In some cases, it means that the patient is more likely to die of cancer because their treatment was delayed.

If you have had your cancer worsened because of the misdiagnosis of cancer, then you could be entitled to make a cancer misdiagnosis hospital and medical negligence claim. Call Medical Negligence Assist today to see if you could be entitled to claim.
