Medical Negligence Solicitors For Wigan No Win No Fee Claims Guide

Welcome to our guide about medical negligence solicitors for Wigan. Any time that you experience a worsening of your health due to the actions of a medical professional, it could be classified as medical negligence meaning you might be able to claim compensation.

Medical or clinical negligence occurs when a medical professional who was responsible for safeguarding your health, does something which actually damages your health.

Examples of medical negligence include being given the wrong medication, being misdiagnosed, receiving the wrong treatment, being the victim of an error made during a surgical procedure, etc.

In order to have a good chance to win a medical negligence compensation case, you will need to be able to answer yes to the following three questions:

  • Did the medical professional have a duty to safeguard your health?
  • Did a failure to meet this duty directly result in a negative effect on your health?
  • Could the failure in duty have been avoided?

If you answer yes to all three of the questions above, we can likely help you to claim compensation for medical negligence.
