How is medical negligence defined?

The definition of medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence standard care towards a patient, at the hands of a medical professional or institution. The patient may be entitled to claim medical negligence compensation if the clinical negligence incident causes them to become harmed, including an injury, transmitting an illness, or the worsening of an existing medical condition. Common examples of medical negligence include medical misdiagnosis, administering the wrong treatment, mistakes, or failing to act.

If you are going to make a successful medical negligence claim, you the claimant need to be able to prove the following about the defendant:

  • That you were owed a binding duty of care as a patient, by the medical practitioner or institution which treated you.
  • That the duty of care you were owed was breached by the Defendant’s negligent action or inactions towards you.
  • Finally, you need evidence to prove that this act of medical negligence caused you harm.

Please read on to learn more about what to look out for if you decide you want to hire a solicitor to support your potential medical negligence claim. We’ll analyse key factors such as reviews given to solicitors and how much the location of a solicitor actually matters.

If your chosen solicitor agrees to support you, then you can sign an agreement with them and then they’ll guide you through the following steps of your claim.

Your chosen medical negligence solicitor will be responsible for gathering evidence in your favour when they represent your claim.

Is there a medical negligence time limit to claim compensation? In Britain, there is usually a 3-year time limit on making a medical negligence claim for compensation, from the time that you were injured or found out that you had been injured in an incident of medical negligence. If your incident occurred more than 3 years ago, can you still claim? The answer may be yes as there are some exceptions to this rule. If you call Legal Expert, an advisor can help you.
