Does claiming for medical negligence hurt the NHS?
No. Making a medical negligence claim doesn’t take money away from your care or anyone else’s in the way many people fear. Compensation is paid because avoidable harm has already happened.

A new report from the Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales has revealed that many people seriously injured in road traffic accidents, and families who have lost loved ones, are not receiving the information they need about their rights to claim compensation.
Agency, temporary and zero-hours workers often assume they cannot claim, or that nobody is responsible because two businesses are involved. Neither is true. You have the same right to a safe workplace, and the same right to claim if you are injured, as any permanent employee.
Today the findings of the largest maternity review in the history of the NHS were published, and they make for harrowing reading. The independent inquiry led by Donna Ockenden into maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust examined around 2,500 cases and concluded that 520 mothers and babies suffered potentially avoidable harm, with 162 of them dying after experiencing substandard care. Of those deaths, 156 were children and six were mothers, and the review found they could have been avoided with better care.
The primary legislation governing the safety of work equipment in England and Wales is the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). If your employer breached PUWER and you were injured as a result, you are entitled to claim compensation.
