Warrington Medical Negligence Solicitors No Win No fee

Medical negligence is the more common term used to refer to clinical negligence. These are the legal terms for negligent behaviour on the part of a medical practitioner or healthcare professional. Medical negligence can refer to circumstances such as accidents, errors, mistakes, or poorer than expected levels of care that a patient (or claimant) has received during their care. The negligent actions or treatment can happen at any stage of the patients care. Medical negligence solicitors help people who have suffered in some way as a result of medical negligence to claim the compensation that they are owed.

From consultants to surgeons, nurses, dentists, and care workers, all medical and healthcare practitioners have a duty of care to the patients under their care. If this treatment does not live up to the minimum expected standards expected, you could be entitled to make a clinical negligence claim using medical claims lawyers. In order to make a successful claim, the solicitor will need to prove that the defendant owed the claimant a duty of care and that there was a breach of this duty. The claimant will also have to show that they were injured or that they suffered in some way as a result of this. In this guide, we look at how to go about hiring medical compensation lawyers, and how to make a successful claim. Your specialist medical negligence solicitors, can guide you through the claims process, helping you to get the damages you are entitled to, as well as providing support when you need it.

Before searching for a solicitor, such as medical negligence solicitors in Warrington, or elsewhere, many people worry about the effects of making your claim. One of the biggest worries people may have is that due to making a claim via medical negligence solicitors, their care will be affected in some way. Making a claim for compensation when you have been injured is your right and whether you have suffered private or NHS medical negligence. It should not affect, delay or otherwise affect your current or future treatment. Making a claim will also not interfere with investigations by the NHS or private providers internal investigative processes. It should also be noted that whilst your claim can financially compensate you for the injury, it will not discipline the defendant, nor will it in any way compel the defendant to change their practices.

Do You Need To Use Medical Negligence Solicitors In Your Area?

Whilst you may be tempted to search for a solicitor in your local area, using terms such as Warrington based solicitors specialising in medical negligence, today you do not need to use professional services based in the same town, or even part of the country as you. Medical claims lawyers can communicate with you using a variety of digital tools and work on your case just as well, wherever they are based. Whilst parts of your claim, such as additional medical examinations to gather further evidence, may need to be performed closer to you, the solicitor does not necessarily need to be. More important than a solicitors location is the competence and ability to handle a case such as yours. Have they worked on similar cases before? Do they have a good track record in securing higher award settlements? Whilst you may have originally looked for a solicitor in your area, It may be that the right solicitors are based in another location.

Clinical Negligence Compensation Calculator

Your compensation settlement or award will either be negotiated between solicitors acting on your behalf and the defendant’s or through the courts’ system and awarded by a judge. Whichever channel your case goes through, the parties involved will refer to the Judicial College guidelines. These guidelines are sent out each year and included recommended ‘minimum’ and ‘maximum’ levels of compensation for different types of injury and illness, as well as different causes. Whilst they are not legally binding, they are commonly used as a reference by solicitors and judges. You can learn more about settlements as well as see our clinical negligence compensation calculator in our guide here.

Your settlement may include what are called special and general damages. General damages are paid out for the actual injury, illness or affliction that a claimant has suffered. It will take into account how long it will take to recover if recovery is possible, and any lasting consequences. It will also compensate a claimant for any loss of function, or ‘amenity’ during the recovery period and after. Special damages should compensate the claimant for any financial costs they have suffered. They may include costs such as reduced or lost income, the cost of medication or ongoing treatment, and any travel costs the claimant has had to pay out. The table above includes information on the number and value of claims made against healthcare trusts in the Warrington area.

Hospital Clinical Negligence Claims

Hospital negligence claims are made in cases where a person has (in some way) been treated in a negligent way whilst undergoing treatment in hospital. The individual circumstances of the claim will dictate where liability lies, and a claim may be brought against the hospital, health care trust or other clinical commissioning group or governing body which is legally responsible for the provision of care, hospital operations or other factor affecting the claim. Hospital negligence claims may be brought against hospitals in the NHS, as well as private hospitals, such as those operated by Nuffield health and other providers.

Dental negligence claims will include errors, mistakes and other circumstances which lead to injury or illness whilst under the care of a dentist, or other dental health care professionals working in the field of dentistry. Circumstances leading to a dental negligence claim may include, surgical errors, misdiagnosis or the prescription and provision of the wrong treatment and medication. Consequences may include infection, tooth and gum problems and injuries affecting the whole of the jaw. You can find more information on dental negligence in our dental negligence guide here.

We can help claimants who have suffered illness or injury as a result of the treatment they did or did not receive from a GP surgery or individual GP, in claiming the compensation that they owed. GP negligence claims may include circumstances in which a doctor failed to correctly diagnose the claimants’ condition, or where they failed to refer the claimant for any special treatment that they may have required. Any of those actions, as well as others, may be considered examples of negligent treatment. As such, if you have experienced any of these you should contact an experienced personal injury claims specialist such as Legal Expert straight away.

Care Home Compensation Claims

People who are receiving care or who are living in care homes across the country may be vulnerable, and as such are entitled to expect the highest possible level of care.
