Medical Negligence is a complicated and particularly specialised area of the law. At Setfords Solicitors, our expert personal injury solicitors have experience in dealing with every kind of medical negligence claim and we understand that medical negligence can often be life changing. If you have suffered as a result of medical negligence you may need support including rehabilitation, immediate and ongoing medical care and sometimes counselling. As result of your injury or illness you may have also lost your job or suffered from loss of earnings. You could therefore be entitled to significant compensation.
At Setfords Solicitors, where possible, you will receive 100% of the compensation awarded and your claim will be pursued by our personal injury experts at no cost to you.
Some examples of situations in which there may be a claim for compensation are:
- Failure by a GP to diagnose an illness or failure to refer the client expeditiously for further tests or investigations, leading to a worsening of the client's condition
- Failure of a surgeon to warn a patient of a recognised risk of an operation. The client had the operation and the risk materialised. It is worth noting that in "failure to warn cases" the failure to advise of recognised risk of surgery which later occurs can lead to an award of compensation even if the surgery itself was carried out to an appropriate standard
- Dispensing the wrong drug to a client by a chemist, leading to the client experiencing unpleasant side effects
- The negligent performing of a cosmetic surgery operation, leading to very poor results, scarring and the need for further corrective operations
- Negligent delay in diagnosing a malignant tumour, leading to the cancer spreading
- Negligence in delivering a baby, leading to the baby being starved of oxygen and suffering permanent brain damage
