Billericay Medical Negligence Solicitors – No Win No Fee

By Stephen Dallas. Last updated 28th January 2025. Before you engage medical negligence solicitors for Billericay to make a compensation claim, you should take a good look at all the useful information to be found on this page. You will find advice on how to choose the best solicitor, and also an explanation of how medical negligence is defined and how it can occur. We’ll also give some outlines of the most typical types of negligence cases.

All of the outlines you will see below share three things in common, and these are:

  • The doctor or another medical professional who caused harm to the patient through medical negligence clearly had a responsibility to safeguard the patient’s health.
  • A failure to meet the responsibility of safeguarding the patient’s health directly lead to them coming to harm in some way.
  • The failure to meet the responsibility of caring for the patient’s health could have been avoided.

Medical negligence occurs when a doctor or medical professional caring for a patient, through accident, oversight, mistake or carelessness, causes harm to the patient instead. This negligence can take many forms:

  • Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosing a serious medical condition.
  • Accidents and errors that occur during a surgical procedure causing harm to the patient.
  • Badly administered treatment.
  • Providing incorrect treatment.
  • Causing preventable delays with providing crucial treatment which results in a negative impact on the patient’s health.
  • Prescribing the wrong medication.
  • Allowing the patient to become the victim of an accident due to insufficient supervisory care being made available.

  • Provide you with access to local services such as a medical professional to produce an independent medical opinion to be used in support of making your claim.
