Medical Negligence Claim or even death

Millions of people are treated by doctors, dentists, nurses and other health care workers every year.

Fortunately, the standard of healthcare in this country is usually high and we can trust our health professionals.

However, sometimes things do go wrong.

Medical (or clinical) negligence is when poor health care causes pain, injury, mental problems and even death.

You can claim compensation whether the medical accident happened in the NHS or privately and it applies to all kinds of treatment by your hospital, GP or dentist.

Proving a medical negligence claim can be difficult because you have to show your accident was caused by incompetent health care or lack of judgement. You also have to show that the poor treatment actually caused your injury.
