What is medical or clinical negligence?

All medical professionals have a duty of care to you as a patient. Medical negligence occurs if there has been a failure to meet this duty and you have suffered as a result, whether by:

• mis-diagnosis
• a delay in diagnosis
• incorrect treatment 
• a delay in treatment
• injury or death from treatment.

Making a claim for compensation is about more than just the money. It’s about trying to get your life back as close to where it was before the negligence happened and ensuring the medical professionals involved in your care accept responsibility for what went wrong.

We can help you do that – here’s how we’ve helped others:
