When choosing a medical negligence solicitor there are key things to look out for and they include; experience on similar cases, a good track record of successful cases, reviews which show that customers are satisfied with the outcome, that the solicitor has good communication channels and that they are prepared to work to a no win no fee agreement.

Pregnancy And Birth Injury Negligence

Pregnancy and childbirth are a critical time when it’s very important for the mother and child to receive the highest possible standard of care. If doctors, midwives or other medical practitioners deliver substandard care during this time, it could endanger the mother or child. Examples of childbirth negligence could include performing an incorrect forceps delivery causing the baby harm and the mum and an injury, failing to notice hypoxia in the foetus or distress in the foetus.

GP Malpractice

GPs are usually the first people we turn to when we or our families show the signs of an illness. Often, the GP is able to provide treatment themselves or they may refer us to a specialist to diagnose us and treat us. If GP malpractice occurs, it may mean a patient may suffer a lot more than they would have. Examples of GP medical negligence may include: your GP failing to spot the signs of a serious medical condition and not referring them to a specialist and the patient deteriorates, prescribing the wrong dosage of medication causing adverse health effects, or misdiagnosing a patient’s illness and the patient may receive unnecessary medication and the current condition goes untreated.

Care Home Injury And Neglect Claims

Care homes exist to provide residential care for people who are no longer able to take care of themselves, such as people who are very elderly and infirm. If your next of kin relative has been injured or made ill because of negligence at a care home, or nursing home and they are not able to claim for themselves (for example they are now suffering from dementia), then you could be entitled to claim compensation for their injuries, on their behalf. These funds could ensure that they receive the highest possible standard of care, going forwards.

If your relative has been injured or made ill because of negligence on the part of a nursing home, nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect in Swansea, then you could be entitled to claim compensation for their injuries. Call us today, about finding the right lawyer to handle your claim.

Hospital Medical Negligence

Hospitals provide patients with essential care, operations, outpatient care, and emergency treatment. Unfortunately, if a doctor, nurse, surgeon or midwife provides negligent treatment towards a patient at a hospital, then this may lead to further complications or injuries. Examples of hospital negligence could include: childbirth injuries, misdiagnosis by a specialist, an anaethetist’s error, the wrong medication being prescribed, or surgical errors. It is important to mention that negligence alone is not enough to pursue a compensation claim, the medical practitioner through negligence, error or omission must have in some way caused the patient harm.

If you have been injured because of medical malpractice at a hospital in Swansea, call us today to enquire about making a no win no fee medical negligence claim. If you are entitled to compensation, one of our excellent panel of no win no fee medical negligence solicitors will start working on your claim right away.

Cancer Misdiagnosis

Unfortunately, most cancers are a disease that spreads and worsens over time. This means that if you are suffering from cancer and your GP fails to recognise the signs and refer you to a specialist, or your oncologist misdiagnoses your cancer, this could delay you getting the treatment that you need. This means that your cancer may become harder to treat, or spread to other organs. In the worst cases, it means that the patient doesn’t survive the disease.

If you have had your cancer worsened because of negligent treatment or cancer misdiagnosis, call our team today and they could assess your case.

Dental Malpractice

Have you been injured or made ill because of dental negligence in Swansea? Dental negligence could occur during a medical-dental procedure, orthodontic procedure, or cosmetic dentistry procedure if standards of service, care and treatment are allowed to fall under the recommended guidance. You could possibly claim for dental malpractice against an NHS dentist, or a private dentist if you have a valid case.

If you have been injured because of dental negligence in Swansea, call Medical Negligence Assist today. We could provide you with an excellent personal injury solicitor covering Swansea to handle your dental negligence claim for compensation, who will start working on your claim right away.
