What is clinical negligence?

There’s a simple answer to the question of what is clinical or medical negligence. It refers to negligence or malpractice harm caused by a medical practitioner to the patient. It is commonly defined as care which the practitioner has provided to a patient which falls short of expected standards in some way. This malpractice will have caused the patient to experience some form of pain and suffering. It could have caused the claimant to experience mental or physical harm, such as developing a new condition, or the existing condition is made much worse.

Clinical negligence could occur in a variety of different ways. This could have been caused by a doctor or other practitioner misdiagnosing a condition or having made a claimant much worse in some way. The harm caused may range from mild to severe.

Helping you get compensation for your injuries

If you have experienced clinical negligence, your first step should be to seek any medical care or attention you need to start your recovery. This may mean seeing a new practitioner. Your next step is to look at clinical negligence law firms that cover your area. The medical negligence team at Legal Expert can walk you through the claims process in an initial consultation. Here we can find out whether or not you have a valid claim, and estimate what your compensation payment might be. With any medical negligence claim, it is important to talk to us as early as possible. This will help us to obtain a better medical examination to support your claim.

In some cases, the defendant may not dispute the claim, or the amount that you are claiming for. If this happens we may be able to secure your compensation earlier. We may even be able to secure you interim payments to help with any medical bills or other expenses.

How long do I have to make a claim?

Usually, there is a three-year time limit within which to make a claim for medical or clinical negligence. This three-year period typically begins at the date of the incident which led to you being harmed. Or it may apply from the date you discovered that you have been harmed by negligent treatment. You can find further information on personal injury and medical negligence claim time limits in our separate guide.
