Medical negligence, also known as clinical 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.
We understand how difficult it can be to take legal action while recovering. Our team will take the time to understand your case, and explain everything in clear, simple terms.
We’ll ask you for:
A summary of what happened and when
Details of your symptoms and how they’ve affected your daily life
Any costs you’ve incurred (treatment, travel, time off work)
Whether you’ve already raised concerns with the medical provider

While all surgical procedures inherently carry risks, it’s imperative that you are adequately informed of these risks before undergoing surgery. While some surgical complications may arise as non-negligent occurrences, in certain cases, they may stem from surgical errors.
