Clinical negligence is the term used to describe an error in treatment by a medical professional which has caused further ill health or complications, and in some cases death.
The Department of Health found that a percentage of the UK population have suffered some injury or adverse effects of medical care they received. They also found that one in ten patients admitted to hospital are unintentionally harmed. These figures are astounding but also bear in mind that the clinical profession often experiences under-reporting of serious incidents and fatalities.
Some of the reported incidents of medical negligence included:
- Misdiagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Incorrect medication dosage
Most of us have put our trust in doctors, nurses and other medical professionals at some time. Unfortunately hundreds of patients experience medical accidents in hospitals and primary care trust clinics all over the UK.
If you have suffered as a result of medical treatment or surgery and you believe that negligence was the cause, you may be entitled to claim for compensation.
Although compensation can never make up for a loss of good health or the loss of a family member, it can help make things easier and more comfortable for the future.
