How To Find The Right Clinical Negligence Solicitor For Your Case

Are you looking for the services of medical negligence solicitors in Redditch? Did you know you don’t have to use solicitors based there? Either way, you may need to approach your search with a great amount of care and consideration. After all, the company you choose may have your chances of compensation in their hands.

Keeping that in mind, read on to discover the key questions you may need to ask before agreeing to use the services of a personal injury solicitor to make a medical negligence claim.

  • What experience do you have? Choosing a medical negligence solicitor in Redditch or based elsewhere may seem like a daunting task but the choice can be narrowed down by opting for a solicitor that has experience dealing with similar cases to your own. You might want to be confident in their service, and you may well want to know that they have handled many similar cases time and time before. This could assure you that they are well equipped to deal with anything that occurs.
  • How much do you charge and how does payment work? You might well need to know how much the medical negligence solicitor charges and what you are going to get for your money. It is also important to find out about the payment structure – we feel it is advisable to go for a no win no fee solicitor, as you will only need to pay legal fees to them if your case is a success if you go down this route, and so you would benefit from a degree of financial protection.
  • Could I take a look at some of your testimonials? A solicitor may provide testimonials or you could search creditable solicitor review sites to get an insight to the type of service a certain solicitor provides, their success rate and how confident past clients have been with their service. A credible company might usually be delighted to show what their customers have had to say about their excellent service.

Our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors has many years of experience dealing with medical negligence cases throughout the United Kingdom and they could cover your claim in Redditch. Below, we are going to help you to get a better understanding of what forms of medical negligence our panel of expert solicitors could handle.

Negligent Surgical Care

The first example we are going to take a look at is surgical errors or negligent mistakes during surgery. If a surgeon or surgical staff make a mistake during surgery that is deemed negligent and a patient is injured as a consequence then the patient may want to the help of a medical negligence solicitor. All medical staff owe their patient a duty of care not to cause them unnecessary harm. Situations of surgical error could range from retained surgical instruments, to infection that could have been prevented to the treatment being carried out on the wrong body part.

Negligence Leading To Birth Injuries

You may also be able to make a claim with the help of our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors  if you have experienced birth injury negligence. These incidents could impact the mother or baby, or both. It is very important that at all times an expectant mother and foetus is monitored correctly through the pregnancy and that both the expectant mother and unborn baby are monitored during the delivery process. Failure by the medical team to spot any conditions that need medical treatment, to act on test results that require immediate action, failure to notice distress which leads to complications arising and avoidable injuries or illness could be deemed as negligence.

Negligence At A Hospital

From NHS negligence to private hospital negligence cases, our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors have the experience to handle all sorts of hospital negligence incidents. Of course, birth injuries and surgery injuries could fall into this category. If you are unsure whether your case of hospital negligence qualifies for a medical negligence claim why not call our advisors after a brief free initial consultation they maybe able to tell you if you have a valid case, and if so, appoint you to a medical negligence solicitor on our panel.

Negligence At A Care Home

In the news in recent times, you may have heard about the distressing nursing home abuse cases. Claims could be made for these sorts of incidents even if the typical three-year medical negligence claims time limit has passed. Of course, abuse is not the only form of negligence that could happen in this environment. From medication errors to poor sanitation; the scenarios could vary, what is important to note is that if the negligence or neglect has caused harm to the care home resident a claim for compensation may exist. In regards to  poor care of patients if negligence occurs from such substandard treatment and a patient/resident has their condition worsened they may also have a valid reason to pursue a care home negligence case.

Negligence By A GP

If someone is not feeling very well, they might go to see their doctor so that they could find out what is wrong and get the correct treatment. However, if your doctor does not diagnose your condition correctly, this could put you on the wrong treatment path altogether. It could mean that no action is taken, that you are given medication you don’t need, or that you might not be referred for specialist tests or to see a specialist to have your condition determined. All of this could delay you getting the treatment you actually need which inturn could mean that your condition is allowed to worsen unnecessarily.

Negligence By A Dentist

When it comes to medical negligence cases, this also covers instances relating to negligent dental treatment. If your dentist has made a mistake, which has lead to you being injured unnecessarily you may have grounds to make a claim. There are different examples of this, ranging from cases whereby the wrong tooth could have been extracted, healthy teeth have been damaged  to instances whereby a dentist might have overlooked the symptoms of oral cancer.

Negligent Cancer Care Or Misdiagnosis

Our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors may also be able to help you if it comes to cancer misdiagnosis which has lead to you suffering more than you need to. It is pivotal that if you are suffering with cancer that you get the correct treatment, and that you get it quickly. If your doctor has not diagnosed your cancer correctly, this could mean you do not get the right treatment or you do not get it in a timely manner. If many cancers are left untreated they could progress, grow and spread which is why it should be diagnosed at the earliest possible opportunity for more of a positive prognosis.
