What Is Medical Negligence?

Clinical negligence, also known as medical negligence, is when a patient receives substandard medical care from a professional. This substandard care could involve a medical mistake, incorrect treatment or misdiagnosis. If the incident causes the patient to be injured, made ill, or worsens their existing condition, this can be recognised as medical negligence under medical negligence law.

For medical negligence claims, there are three things that you must be able to prove in order to win your claim for medical negligence compensation.

  1. That the defendant, i.e. the medical practitioner owed you a duty of care.
  2. That by performing a negligent action or inaction, the defendant breached this duty of care towards you.
  3. That the defendant’s negligent action or inaction resulted in you suffering an avoidable accident, which caused you an injury or illness, or worsened an existing condition.

Your medical negligence lawyer will work relentlessly to gather the evidence to win your case.

Have you experienced medical negligence that happened at the GP’s surgery or another medical facility? Then trust a Legal Expert solicitor to help you make a medical negligence compensation claim and win your case.

Another important factor to consider in medical negligence law is that most medical negligence cases have a time limit. Generally, this is three years since the accident in question took place, or since the claimant became aware that they had been harmed. For example, the claimant suffered may have been subjected to misdiagnosis or your illness/injury was diagnosed at a later stage.

Therefore if you have experienced medical negligence that happened we recommend that you work to find a medical negligence solicitor in Mansfield as soon as possible, before you exceed the time limit.

Care Home and Nursing Home Malpractice Claims, Mansfield

Care homes also called nursing homes, do an important job caring for some of the more needy people in our society. The elderly, mentally ill, severely disabled and mentally incapacitated are often cared for full time by care homes or nursing homes.

Therefore if a nursing home or care home acts negligently or abusively towards a patient they are caring for, it can have devastating results.

However, making a medical negligence claim against a care home can be a little bit of a grey area. As most of the staff are not usually medically trained, they cannot be found guilty of medical negligence. This doesn’t mean however that you can’t make a claim against the care home if a loved one is injured there due to negligence. The process would just be slightly different.
