How Do I Choose A Medical Negligence Solicitor For My Claim?

Medical negligence is when a patient receives substandard medical care from a doctor, nurse, dentist or another medical professional, which worsens their existing medical condition, makes the patient ill or injures them. Medical negligence is sometimes called clinical negligence. Because medical practitioners have a duty of care towards those they treat, if a patient is harmed because of medical negligence, the practitioner may be held liable for their injuries and the organisation they work for may have to pay the injured party compensation.

We have included some advice about ways to find the right clinical negligence solicitor to conduct your claim below. Remember, if you have been injured or made ill because of medical negligence, you could be entitled to claim compensation. Contact Medical Negligence Assist today, to enquire about claiming compensation for medical negligence in Berkshire.

Negligence During Nursing Home Care

Care homes and nursing homes play an essential role in our society, providing residential care for people who are not able to care for themselves. Some care homes provide residential care for the elderly, others for people suffering from severe disabilities. Care homes usually offer residents a good standard of care. However, there have been times when negligence in nursing home care has resulted in residents being harmed. If you or your next of kin relative have been injured, made ill or had their existing medical condition worsened because of medical negligence at a care home, or nursing home, call us today to see if you are entitled to claim.

Examples of negligence in nursing home care include a patient being injured when staff move them due to little or poor training, a patient being given the wrong type or quantity of medication causing further ill health or intentional neglect and abuse, which could leave the person psychologically injured. As well as helping care home and nursing home residents sue for negligence, we could also help you if you have a close next of kin relative who was harmed due to medical negligence. If your relative is not able to claim for themselves, for example, they are suffering from dementia, we could help you to claim on their behalf, to get funds to provide them with the best possible care.

Medical Negligence Birth Injuries

Childbirth is an amazing part of the human lifecycle. Although for many childbirth can be very painful to say the least it is also a magical time, bringing new life into the world is a very happy time. However this does not mean that the medical care does not need to be taken seriously, quite the opposite in fact. Usually, the standard of care offered is very high, but if the care is substandard, this may lead to the mother or child suffering birth injuries, which could have long term effects. Examples of birth negligence could include: doctors using the wrong tools to deliver the baby causing avoidable injuries, failing to properly monitor the unborn baby or failure to notice signs of distress in the infant before the oxygen supply is cut off and the unborn baby suffers hypoxia.

You could make a medical negligence at birth claim if either you or your child were injured because of medical negligence during childbirth. Call Medical Negligence Assist today to speak to an advisor about your options.

Medical Negligence In Cancer Care

If you have experienced medical negligence in cancer care, you could be entitled to claim compensation for the suffering you suffered unnecessarily. In the very tragic circumstances that your next of kin relative died unnecessarily because of negligence in cancer care, you could claim compensation on their behalf. What is negligence in cancer care? As well as substandard care in the treatment of cancer causing avoidable suffering, negligence in cancer care could come in the form of a doctor failing to spot the early signs of cancer and refer the patient to a specialist, or cancer misdiagnosis when a doctor misdiagnoses the symptoms of cancer as another illness which delays any necessary treatment causing further suffering. Because cancer is a disease that spreads over time, it makes it easier to treat if it is caught early.

To enquire about making a clinical negligence claim for negligence in cancer care, or cancer misdiagnosis, call us today for your free consultation. Whether you want to claim on behalf of yourself or a relative, we could help you.

Medical Negligence By A Dentist

We go to the dentist for many reasons. This could include routine checkups, getting a tooth capped, medical reasons, or to have orthodontic or cosmetic work done. Like doctors, dentists and orthodontists also owe their patients a duty of care. Whilst most dental practices offer their patients a high standard of care, if negligence in dentistry happens, which results in the patient’s medical condition worsening, or the patient becoming injured or ill there maybe grounds for a claim. If a patient is undergoing orthodontic work, or cosmetic dental work, and it goes wrong making their appearance worse, this could also cause them psychological damage which may take time to come to terms with. Examples of negligence in dentistry could include a dentist extracting the wrong tooth, a dentist creating unintentional nerve damage, a dentist damaging other teeth when removing one tooth, or a dentist misdiagnosing a medical condition such as oral cancer.

Have you been made ill, injured or had your existing condition worsened because of dental negligence in Reading? You could be entitled to make a personal injury claim for compensation. Call us today, and see if you are entitled to claim.

Medical Negligence By A GP

When we have a more minor illness or injury, we often rely on our GPs to provide the care we need. If our medical condition is more serious, we often have an initial appointment with a GP and rely on them to send us to a specialist at a hospital for further treatment or investigation. However, if we experience medical negligence by a GP, this may result in us not getting the treatment that we need, or our treatment going wrong. Examples of medical negligence by a GP include a GP prescribing a patient the wrong dosage of medicine which causes ill health, a GP failing to spot the signs of a serious medical condition and not referring the patient to a specialist which allows patients to suffer further unnecessarily, and misdiagnosis where a patient receives the wrong treatment and the current condition goes untreated causing further complications.

Have you been injured, made ill or had a medical condition that you were already suffering from worsened because of medical negligence on the part of a GP? Then you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries.
