Accident Compensation Solicitors

No Win No Fee Clinical Negligence Compensation

Most medical procedures are carried out successfully, however, from time to time, things do go wrong. If something does go wrong it may be due to negligence on the part of one or more of the medical professionals responsible. 

If you suffer an injury due to neglect you may be entitled to make a compensation claim for clinical negligence (formally referred to as a medical negligence claim). To succeed in a compensation claim you will need to establish that:

1. The care provided by the medical professional has fallen below the standard required of such a person and,
2. The injury you have suffered is as a result of the failure.

Proving a claim involves your solicitor investigating the history of your case and usually obtaining evidence from an independent medical expert. The process can be complex and time consuming and should be handled by a solicitor with specialist knowledge and experience. At Grindeys, clinical negligence work is handled by John McGettigan who has several years experience in this area and has successfully pursued many cases on behalf of victims of medical mishaps.

Common types of clinical negligence claims include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Surgical or other procedural errors
• Failure to explain procedures fully and obtain informed consent
• Failure of medical devices
• Errors in prescribing medication
• Lack of care or monitoring that leads to a deterioration in condition
• Complications during childbirth
