What Is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence can take the form of a medical mistake, a misdiagnosis, or incorrect medical treatment. If an event like this causes illness, injury, or the worsening of an existing medical condition in a patient, they may have the right to make a medical negligence claim.

For a person to claim medical negligence compensation, they must be able to prove the following:

  • A medical professional owes you a duty of care.
  • This professional breaches this duty of care.
  • This breach causes avoidable harm.

All medical professionals, whether they are a doctor, pharmacist or nurse, owe their patients a duty of care to provide them with the correct standard of care. If they fail to do so, and this results in you suffering harm that could have otherwise been avoided, you could make a claim.

Will I Need To Use Medical Negligence Solicitors In Sunderland?

It’s a common misconception that if you live in Sunderland, or have experienced medical negligence in the North East that you have to use a solicitor experienced in medical negligence claims who is based in the local area, or nearby. However, you may find that the right medical claims lawyer to handle your case is based in a different city. This can be especially true if you have a unique or specialised case. Luckily in this age of digital communications, including email, online video calls and instant messaging, there’s no need to “work with a legal solicitor near me”, if you can find a more suitable lawyer elsewhere.
