NHS negligence occurs when a healthcare provider breaches their duty of care, resulting in harm, injury, or the worsening of an existing medical condition. This could include:
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
Surgical errors
Medication mistakes
Poor hospital or nursing care
Failure to refer or escalate treatment
You may be eligible to claim compensation if these mistakes caused you pain, suffering, or financial loss.
Our experienced team specialises in all areas of medical negligence, including:
GP Negligence: Failure to diagnose, refer, or properly treat symptoms can lead to serious complications.
Surgical Negligence: Surgical errors such as wrong-site surgery, retained instruments, or infections from poor post-op care can have life-changing consequences.
Hospital and Nursing Care Negligence: Substandard hospital care can result in pressure ulcers, falls, sepsis, or delayed diagnosis. We’ll investigate if the duty of care was breached.
Misdiagnosis or Delay in Diagnosis: Conditions like cancer, Cauda Equina Syndrome, or stroke must be diagnosed early. A delay can lead to avoidable suffering or long-term damage.
Accident & Emergency (A&E):No matter how busy A&E is, every patient deserves urgent and accurate care. Missed diagnoses or delayed treatment may justify a claim.
Paramedic & Ambulance Negligence: Delays in treatment or failing to recognise life-threatening symptoms can have devastating consequences. We can assess if ambulance staff acted negligently.
Consultant & Specialist Errors: Mistakes in ongoing care, medication errors, or missed referrals can prolong suffering or lead to fatal outcomes.
Nurses & Care Home Negligence: Inadequate care from nurses or care workers, including failures to monitor nutrition, hydration, mobility, or pressure ulcers, can amount to negligence.
You may be eligible to make a NHS negligence claim if you’ve suffered an injury, illness, or worsening condition because a healthcare professional failed to provide an acceptable standard of care. This could include treatment from a doctor, nurse, surgeon, dentist, or other medical specialist within the NHS or a private practice.
You can also claim on behalf of:
A child or someone under 18
A loved one who has passed away due to negligent treatment
Someone who lacks mental capacity to bring a claim themselves
To be successful, you’ll need to show that:
The care you received fell below the expected medical standard, and
That negligence directly caused harm or made your condition worse
At NJS Law, our expert solicitors can quickly assess whether you have a valid claim and guide you through the process on a no win, no fee basis.
Compensation in a NHS negligence claim is designed to cover both the physical and financial impact of negligent treatment. At NJS Law, our solicitors carefully calculate each claim to ensure you receive the full amount you’re entitled to.
Typically, compensation includes:
General damages for pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life
Special damages for financial losses, such as medical bills, travel costs, lost income, and ongoing care needs
Future care costs if your injury requires long-term treatment or support
The exact amount depends on the severity of the negligence, the extent of your injury, and the impact on your daily life. Our experienced team will work closely with medical experts to accurately assess your claim and maximise your compensation.
With no win, no fee claims, you can pursue justice without the worry of upfront legal costs.
