What Is A Medical Negligence Claim?

When a medical professional takes care of you, whether they’re a doctor, nurse, GP, pharmacist or other specialist, they owe you a duty of care. This means they have to ensure their care meets the correct standard at every stage of your treatment.

Their failure to uphold that standard could be what leads you to experience harm that should have been avoided.

Unfortunately, medical negligence happens in London, leading to claims. For example, our research found that just one London-based NHS Trust – Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust – paid out more than £55m in compensation for birth injury claims from 2019 to 2024.

You are able to claim for medical negligence if you can show that:

  • A medical professional owed you a duty of care.
  • Their care fell short of the correct standard, meaning the duty of care was breached.
  • As a direct result of this, you suffered avoidable harm.

There are also some serious medical conditions where medical negligence can occur. You may wish to make a medical negligence claim for malpractice suffered when being treated for these issues. We will now look at some of these issues in detail.

Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims

If you have, or are currently suffering from cancer and were initially misdiagnosed by your doctor, you can make a medical negligence claim. This is especially true if your misdiagnosis delayed you getting the treatment you needed for cancer, as it is well known that the earlier cancer is caught, the easier it can be to treat. For some, it can be the difference between life and death.
