What is hospital negligence?
Hospital negligence occurs when a hospital, doctor, nurse or other medical professional fails to provide the appropriate standard of care, causing in injury, illness or the worsening of an existing condition. Examples of hospital negligence include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Incorrect medication or dosage
- Inadequate patient monitoring
- Delays in treatment, including in A&E
- Falls or injuries due to staff negligence
- Discharge too early before it's safe
Who can make a hospital negligence claim?
You may be eligible to make a hospital negligence claim if:
- You have suffered harm due to substandard care
- A loved one has died or become seriously ill due to medical errors
- You’ve had to undergo further treatment or surgery to correct a mistake
To bring a successful claim, you will need to prove that a duty of care was owed by a healthcare professional, that this was breached (for example, through a delayed diagnosis or poor treatment) and that this worsened your outcome.
Our experienced solicitors will look carefully into what happened, ensuring you have the evidence you need for a successful claim.
