Hospital Negligence Claims 

Negligence experienced at a hospital can have a devastating effect on your physical, and sometimes metal heath. A failure to diagnose a condition, refer to a specialist or errors in treatment can lead to a successful claim for compensation. 
 
What is hospital negligence? 
 
This is where a healthcare professional provided sub standard care or failed in their duty to take care of you, and you experienced a damage or loss as a result of that failure. This can include both physical and psychiatric injury, as well as financial loss. 
 
 
Examples of negligence can include: 
• Medication errors 
• Hospital acquired infection – MSSA, Clostridium Difficile and MRSA 
• Failure to monitor a patient 
• Misdiagnoses 
• Neglect by staff 
• Mistakes in surgery 
• Issues during a visit to A & E 
• Not preventing Infections 
• Delays in treatment or surgery 
• Not Preventing Falls 
• Etc 
 
These errors can occur in both NHS and private hospitals and a claim can be brought in both cases. 
 
Hospital Negligence can have a lasting effect on your health and it is important that the consequences of any negligence are recognised and dealt with. Compensation can help relieve any financial pressures you might be under, as well as providing help with long term care and rehabilitation. 
 
No Win No Fee Scheme 
 
Can I make a claim under a No Win No Fee? 
 
In most cases yes if it is felt that you have a strong case. This would mean that even if your case were to be unsuccessful then you would pay nothing. 
 
How soon do I need to make a claim? 
 
Usually, a Hospital Negligence claim should be made within three years from when the negligence occurred or from when you were first aware that you have suffered an injury or illness as a result of negligence. Speak with us to discuss full details of any time limits.
