Claims For Medical Mistakes Which You Could Make

In the upcoming sections, we are going to take a look at some of the most common cases our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors could potentially handle. This is not an exhaustive list. However, it should give you a better understanding of the medical negligence claims that could be made.

Hospital Medical Mistakes

The first example that we are going to take a look at is hospital negligence cases. This could be negligence in an NHS hospital or a private hospital. The situations could vary when it comes to hospital negligence. Examples could range from incidents whereby medical professionals have made mistakes, for example, diagnosed an illness incorrectly or failed to give the right medication leading to further illness, to incidents whereby people have fallen ill because of poor hygiene standards. The hospital has a duty of care to their patient to uphold certain standards. If these are not met, and you suffer worsening illness or some form of injury because of this, then you could be in a position to make a claim.

Surgeons Medical Mistakes

Aside from this, our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors could help with surgical errors too. There is no denying that all types of surgeries and operations are going to come with risks. However, this does not mean that you could not look into making a claim if your surgeon was negligent. If your surgeon has not carried out an operation properly or he or she has failed to warn you of all of the risks, for instance, and you suffer harm, you may be able to make a claim.

Child Birth And Midwife Negligence Cases

A lot of people might also look for the assistance of our panel of solicitors as an alternative to medical negligence solicitors in West Bridgford for midwife negligence cases. These cases could be very difficult to come to terms with, especially when they result in lifelong injuries for the baby or indeed the mother. When making a claim, you might be able to make a case for the emotional trauma experienced as well as the physical injuries. These cases could happen in a number of different ways. They might occur when the medical professional has failed to notice that the baby and/or the mother are in distress and their inaction has led to harm. Other cases could occur if the wrong birthing tools are used, or they are used in the wrong manner, leading to injury.

Doctor Negligence Cases

When we are not feeling well, we might rely on our doctor to diagnose the symptoms we are experiencing so that we could get the treatment we need. When mistakes are made, not only does this mean we might not get the treatment we require but we could end up taking medication that we do not even need which causes us more harm. This is how some doctor negligence cases could occur. Another way would be misdiagnosis or late diagnosis of progressive diseases when symptoms or signs were clearly present but may have been ignored or not checked out properly. This could cause a disease to progress further and cause more harm.

Nursing Home Mistakes

You may also want to make a claim for yourself or on the behalf of a loved one because of care home negligence. There have been some stories in the news as of late about different care homes that have been charged with the abuse of their patients. While these incidents are rare, they could happen, and of course, this counts as negligence. Negligence could also occur due to medication errors leading to further ill health, slip, trip, and fall hazards not being signposted or repaired, infection due to poor hygiene standards and more.

Cancer Treatment Medical Mistakes

Asie from the examples that have already been mentioned, you may also be looking for our panel as another choice instead of medical negligence solicitors in West Bridgford if you have been the victim of a mistake regarding cancer treatment or diagnosis. Cancer is a disease that sometimes grows and spreads at a scary pace.

In some cases, these incidents may be fatal.
