What Is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence means substandard care on the part of a healthcare provider, which results in the victim becoming injured, ill or having an existing medical condition worsened. Victims of medical negligence can make claims for medical compensation, if the incident fits certain criteria.

Firstly, the patient (i.e. the Claimant) must be able to prove that the defendant owed them a duty of care. As a patient of a medical institution and practitioner (i.e. the Defendant), you are owed a duty of care.

People sue for NHS medical negligence, private hospital medical negligence and make medical negligence claims against a GP.

Secondly the Defendant must have breached their duty of care.

Third and finally, the Claimant must be able to prove that they suffered an avoidable accident due to the Defendant’s negligent actions, which caused an avoidable accident which resulted in an injury or illness, or worsened an existing condition.

Legal Expert’s Research Into Medical Negligence Claims Against The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust

In the last year, The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust paid out over £10.8m as a result of medical negligence claims. This figure is irrespective of when the claim was made. In addition, the Trust dealt with 229 medical negligence claims from July 2022 to July 2023.

Legal Expert uncovered the data following a Freedom of Information request. We further found that 220 complaints were made against the Trust as a result of alleged poor or substandard care. The majority of complaints were caused by general care of a patient (106), followed by clinical treatment (88) and diagnoses (26).

All healthcare staff owe a duty to provide care to patients that are reasonably expected of any qualified medical professional. If a healthcare employee breaches this duty and causes you tob suffer harm that was otherwise avoidable, you may have grounds for a valid claim for medical negligence.
