Clinical Negligence
Clinical or medical negligence, refers to physical or psychological damage which can be proved to be as a result of an error made by a health care professional such as a nurse, doctor, midwife or surgeon.
In order to bring a clinical negligence claim against a doctor or healthcare provider, your solicitor must be able to prove that you have suffered physical or psychological injury as a direct result of the error. This error could be that the wrong treatment was given, treatment was not given or that there was an omission or mistake in the treatment you received.
Some examples of clinical/medical negligence may include:
- Injuries during child birth to mother or baby (or even both) which can be proved to be as a result of a clinical mistake or could have been prevented with a different course of action;
- Cosmetic or plastic surgery gone wrong including infections, scarring or damage which can be proved to be as a result of a clinical error;
- Medical misdiagnosis resulting in suffering for the patient;
- Hospital or nursing home negligence, including injuries or damage sustained which can be proved to be as a result of basic care needs not being met;
- Surgical errors and negligence, including tissue or nerve damage, organ perforation or where injuries/damage are as a result of poor post operative care.
