What is medical negligence? Medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence and medical malpractice is when a medical practitioner or institution acts negligently towards a patient. This negligence could take the form of a medical mistake, a misdiagnosis, or a patient receiving incorrect medical treatment, as the result of the medical practitioner acting negligently. If the medical negligence causes the patient an illness, injury or worsens an existing medical condition then they legally have the right to claim medical negligence compensation. If the person affected by the medical negligence is now deceased or is mentally incapacitated (for example they suffer from dementia) then their next of kin can claim compensation for medical negligence on their behalf.

For the patient (Claimant) to claim medical negligence compensation, the Claimant’s medical claims lawyer must be able to prove the following:

1. the medical practitioner or institution (the Defendant) owed the claimant a duty of care
2. that the Defendant breached the duty of care by acting negligently
3. that this breach of the duty of care was an avoidable accident, which resulted in an illness, injury or the worsening of an existing duty of care for the Claimant.

Please be aware that a time limit applies when making medical negligence claims. Although certain exceptions do apply, Claimants normally must make their medical negligence claim within three years since the clinical negligence incident took place, or they realised that they have been harmed. Don’t delay, if you have experienced medical negligence in the Sunderland area, or medical negligence in the North East, contact Legal Expert today to be provided with one of our clinical negligence solicitors across the country.
