Last updated 7th January 2025. Before you begin looking for solicitors in Woking to represent you in a medical negligence case, you should read this short guide. It will help you make a more informed choice.

The term medical or clinical negligence describes a situation whereby a medical profession responsible for the health of a patient, has actually caused them avoidable harm in some way. Medical negligence cases range in severity from fairly harmless such as a person being prescribed the wrong medication, to extremely serious, such as mistakes made during a surgical procedure resulting in death. For every case of medical negligence, the following three facts must be true to make a successful claim:

  • The medical professional who caused the situation must have had a duty to safeguard your health.
  • The medical professional can be proved to have failed to meet this duty of care in a what which had a negative impact on your health.
  • The failure to fulfil their duty was avoidable.

If the medical negligence you suffered fulfils all of the three requirements above, then contact Legal Expert today.

Claims Our Medical Negligence Solicitors For Woking Could Help With

Legal Expert has a proven track record in winning complex medical negligence claims on behalf of our clients. We are experienced in suing large organisations such as the NHS and also privately-operated healthcare services. Our No Win No Fee claims service is available to people all over the UK.

Below we have detailed some of the more common types of clinical negligence cases we take on. This is not a full list, and if none of these examples fit your specific case, then give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have.

Hospital Negligence

Hospital negligence occurs any time that a patient suffers a negative effect on their health due to the actions of an employee of the hospital. This could be something as simple as a patient slipping on a wet floor which should have been cleaned up but wasn’t, to complicated negligence cases such as cancer misdiagnosis leading to the death of a patient.

Legal Expert can help people all across the UK to claim compensation for negligence that occurred in a hospital.

GP Negligence

When you engage an NHS negligence specialist No Win No Fee agreements are often not discussed. The legal firm knows that taking on a GP claim is a tough challenge.

Your GP is the first line of contact for most of your health issues, and when they make a mistake the results can be disastrous. Yet in some cases, it can be incredibly difficult to prove the GP was to blame.

Legal Expert can offer to take on GP claims under a No Win No Fee agreement, and we offer this claims service across the whole UK.

Cancer Negligence

Misdiagnosis of the type of cancer that a patient is suffering from can lead to a critical delay in receiving the right treatment in time to save the life of the patient. Fortunately, this type of medical negligence is rare. However, when it does occur it has serious consequences.

If you have lost a loved one due to their cancer no being treated effectively, and we can prove that this was due to clinical negligence, then Legal Expert can help you claim the most compensation you are entitled to.

Birth Injury Negligence

There are many ways that both the mother and the baby can be injured during childbirth. The mother can suffer from a minor condition such as perineal tears, or more serious injuries such as damage to the pelvic floor muscles or even a fracture of the pelvis. The baby can suffer from some form of birth trauma, which can include bone fractures, with the collarbone being the most common. More seriously, a loss of oxygen to the baby can result in permanent brain damage.

Legal Expert offers a national claims service that families all over the UK can use to help them claim the compensation they are due if they have been victims of birth injury negligence. This includes the residents of Woking; our Woking medical negligence team is experienced in making such claims.
