What Is Clinical Negligence?

Before we start this guide we should confirm what we mean by medical negligence or clinical negligence as it is also known, as our clients often ask us “what is clinical negligence?”. Clinical negligence is defined as substandard medical care, taking the form of a negligent action or inaction, towards a patient, from a medical practitioner or organisation.

If this negligence causes the patient to become ill, injured or worsens a medical condition that they already suffer from then they are legally entitled to claim compensation. To claim for medical negligence compensation, you need to work with a medical negligence solicitor who can obtain the necessary evidence to put forward your case and represent you in your medical negligence compensation claim.

How long will the process of making a medical negligence claim be? If the defendant admits liability early on, it could only take a few months to get your settlement award. If you have a medically or legally complicated case, or the Defendant refuses to admit liability it could sadly take a lot longer.

Please note, there is also a medical negligence claims time limit in Scotland of three years. This means that with few exceptions, you will have to begin your Claim for medical negligence compensation within three years of the medical negligence incident taking place, or you realised that you had been harmed by an incident of medical negligence. So if you have experienced medical negligence in Hamilton or elsewhere in the last 3 years, don’t delay. Call Legal Expert today for your free legal consultation and if you have a genuine claim for compensation, we will move forward with your case right away.

Do I Need To Use A Medical Negligence Solicitor Near Me?

If you work with a medical negligence solicitor, what qualities should you prioritise? We recommend prioritising the quality of service the solicitor provides, whether or not they offer a no win no fee payment option, how high their fees are and the firm’s track record of winning clinical negligence claims for their clients.

Many Claimants are understandably anxious if they are assigned a solicitor whose offices aren’t in their local area, however, we would say that location is now far less important than it used to be. With the advent of digital communications technology like Skype and email, you can now keep in regular contact with your solicitor, no matter where they are based as your case proceeds. So location shouldn’t be the key factor in choosing the best medical negligence solicitor to represent you in your claim.
