Medical Negligence Claims That Our Panel Of Expert Medical Negligence Solicitors Could Conduct

We will now look at types of medical negligence that our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors could cover. First, let’s define what medical negligence is. All medical practitioners have a legal duty of care towards their patients. If a medical practitioner fails in their duty of care, by providing substandard care which results in the patient becoming harmed, this is defined as medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence. An act of medical negligence could be a medical mistake causing harm, a doctor misdiagnosing a patient’s condition so it worsens over time, or prescribing the wrong dosage of medication allowing the patient to suffer side effects. For a medical negligence claim to be valid it must result in the patient becoming injured, ill, or have an existing medical condition made worse.

Pregnancy Or Birth Injuries Caused By Negligence

Pregnancy and birth are a critical time, where the mother and foetus need the highest standards of care to ensure that both mother and baby are healthy. Maternity negligence may include misdiagnosis or ill-treatment of pregnancy-related diabetes, delay in pre-eclampsia diagnosis and not diagnosing a breach delivery. Examples of medical negligence that could happen during childbirth may include doctors failing to notice distress, or hypoxia in the foetus, or injuring the child when using delivery tools such as ventous and forceps.

Negligent Care From A Hospital

Hospitals could provide us with essential care when we need to see a specialist or in emergency situations. However with staff shortages and those staff who are available working long shifts and more days than necessary it is possible to see why mistakes could potentially be made. Examples of clinical negligence in hospitals may include a specialist misdiagnosing a medical condition, a patient being given the wrong dosage of medication or mistakes during surgery. However in order to make a successful claim it must be proven that the negligence suffered caused a condition to worsen or caused harm in some way. In the tragic circumstances that your next of kin or relative suffered a medical negligence death at a hospital, you could possibly be able to claim compensation on their behalf.

If you have been made ill, injured or had an existing medical condition worsened because of medical negligence in a hospital call us today.

Negligence In A Nursing Home

If a beloved relative becomes too ill or infirm to look after themselves, we trust care homes and nursing homes to provide them with the highest standard of care, in Sheffield and elsewhere. Because the residents of care homes and nursing homes are often vulnerable people who cannot look after themselves, care homes and nursing homes have to take precautions to ensure their health and safety. This could include safeguarding procedures to ensure that residents are not abused or neglected, procedures to make sure residents receive and take the correct dosage of medication and to have safety equipment so that patients are not at risk if falling. Care home workers also have processes they must follow if they have to lift patients, to ensure they don’t drop or injure them.

If you have been injured in a care home in Sheffield because of negligence, you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries. Alternatively, if your next of kin relative who has been deemed to be mentally incompetent (for example, is suffering from dimentia) has been neglected while in a care home and suffered injuries then you could be able to make a compensation claim on their behalf. Call Medical Negligence Assist today, to find out if your case for care home negligence is something we could assist with.

Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims

If a doctor misdiagnosed or failed to spot the signs of your cancer, and the condition is allowed to worsen due to not receiving the correct treatment at the right time a case for cancer misdiagnosis may exist. This is because cancer is a disease that spreads and worsens over time. The sooner the cancer is caught, the easier it is to treat. In some cases, catching cancer early could be the difference between life and death. If your cancer worsened because of negligent misdiagnosis, then you could be entitled to claim compensation if the illness worsened.
