What can constitute as negligent consultant errors?

Consultant errors can arise in many different ways and could lead to people suffering injury and loss. In many cases, they can arise when the incorrect diagnosis has been issued or the incorrect treatment has been referred for a patient by a consultant. It may also come down to a lack of proper advice issued which then can harm a patient’s ability to provide informed consent for particular surgeries or treatment.

Ultimately, we trust in consultants to make sure that we are provided with the best advice possible to help us in respect of recovery and treatment. Where consulting errors occur, and they were avoidable, this could constitute negligence. If negligence has taken place, that is when a patient could be entitled to pursue a claim for medical negligence compensation.

To prove that you have been the victim of negligence, we need to demonstrate that more could – and should – have been done, or that things should have been done differently. We usually do this by way of your witness testimony as well as assessing your medical records, and these can form part of a formal medical report for a claim. The medical report can be put together by an independent consultant we can instruct. Their job is to provide an opinion in respect of what has happened to you. We can also use this report to establish your damages settlement based on the extent and severity of any suffering, injury and loss that you have endured.
