All medical practitioners such as doctors, nurses and dentists to name a few, are responsible for providing their patients with the minimum possible standard of care. If a medical practitioner delivers substandard care towards a patient, they can be held liable for any injuries, illness or worsening of the patient’s pre-existing condition, that happens because of their negligence. As a result, the patient would have the right to claim compensation for the injuries, from the hospital, doctor’s surgery or other medical institution where they were harmed.

A Solicitors Location Does Not Matter
Many people believe they have to use “medical negligence solicitors in my area”, to handle their claim. Many people worry that if their solicitor is not based in Ramsgate or Kent, that they may have communication difficulties with their firm, as their case proceeds. In fact, no matter where your solicitor is based, your initial consultation and communication as your case proceeds, is likely to take place remotely via phone or email, so you don’t need to worry about the location.

How Our Panel Of Doctors Could Assess Your Injuries
The first step to making a claim for medical negligence in Ramsgate, is to have a medical assessment. During your medical assessment, your doctor will assess your injuries and produce a medical report. The medical report will diagnose the injuries, illness or worsening of your medical condition that you have experienced and will define the effect that they are likely to have on your quality of life, going forward. Your solicitor will use this to value your claim.
We work with doctors in your local area and will arrange for your medical assessment.

Cancer Negligence Claims
Unfortunately, because cancer is a time-bound disease, getting a diagnosis and appropriate treatment early on is essential. If a doctor or oncologist fails to spot the signs of cancer early on when they are bought to their attention, this misdiagnosis of cancer will result in the patient’s treatment becoming delayed, which means cancer can spread and worsen dramatically during this time.
If you experienced a misdiagnosis of cancer and it led to your cancer going untreated and worsening over time then you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries. Also if your next of kin relative died unnecessarily because of negligence in cancer care, you could be entitled to claim medical negligence compensation on their behalf. Call Medical Negligence Assist today to enquire about claiming compensation.

This includes a patient being abused, willfully neglected, being injured whilst being washed or moved, or being given the incorrect medication.

Operations are a critical time when patients need the utmost standards of care and attention from the surgeon and their team.

Examples of types of negligence during surgery that can happen include: a surgeon damaging an organ, a mesh not being inserted correctly, wrong-site surgery – meaning that the wrong part of the body is operated on, or the improper sterilisation of surgical instruments, causing the patient to get an infection.
If you have been made injured or ill because of negligence in surgery at a hospital in Ramsgate, or the wider Kent area, you could be entitled to claim compensation for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity that was caused.

Claims For Birth Injuries
During pregnancy and childbirth, it is vital that a mother and child are given the highest standard of medical care. If during childbirth, the level of medical care is substandard, this can lead to injuries that can have lifelong medical consequences for the mother and the child. For example, if the child experiences broken or fractured bones which were caused by negligence during childbirth, this can lead to lifelong disabilities. If the child experiences hypoxia, this can result in them developing cerebral palsy.
Speak to us today about making a claim for birth injuries caused by medical negligence in Ramsgate. Our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors can handle claims for birth injuries and injuries caused by negligence during pregnancy.
GP Negligence
General Practitioners, also known as GPs, play an important role in caring for patients at a local level. As well as offering treatment for more minor injuries and illnesses, they also have the power to refer a patient that is showing signs of a more serious illness or injury for diagnosis, and further treatment if necessary at a hospital. If doctors fail to notice serious signs of severe illnesses when they would have been expected to do so they could be seen as failing in their duty of care. GP’s are also responsible for correctly providing the most appropriate treatment to their patients, if they are negligent in prescribing medication, for example, too much of a certain medicine the patient may be at risk of overdosing.
