Making a clinical negligence claim

private treatment for medical negligence

As patients, we trust our doctors to do their utmost to improve our health and ensure our safety. In some cases, there can be no way for our doctors to help us, but valid concerns may be raised in cases where doctors have breached the duty owed to their patients. If you have been adversely affected by a doctor’s negligence, you may be able to make a clinical negligence claim.

For the most part, medical practitioners diagnose and treat conditions efficiently and effectively, but a breakdown in the service they provide can cause serious harm to patients. No one deserves to suffer at the hands of a doctor they trusted, which is why those affected can be eligible to claim compensation for any negative impact on their health and wellbeing.

Due to the complex nature of medical science and the law, clinical negligence cases can be highly complex in nature, with both medical experts and lawyers having to assess and weigh in on the causes of the patient’s condition. Our expert team has years of experience in this multi-faceted area of law, enabling us to offer bespoke advice and expert representation to our clients.

Endocarditis misdiagnosis – compensation claims

compensation for a diagnosis error

There are some diseases or health conditions that require a quick diagnosis to bring the issue under control and give the patient their best chance of recovery. Endocarditis can be one such illness, as it can be fatal in the worst circumstances, particularly if left untreated. As such, an endocarditis misdiagnosis can be one of the most damaging forms of medical negligence that we may encounter in this specialist area of law.

Whilst endocarditis can be a rare condition, this does not excuse doctors and healthcare professionals from being able to identify its signs. It is vital that necessary precautions are taken when a patient seems to be exhibiting the symptoms of this condition, as a failure to act could have serious implications for the patient.

We all put our faith it the expertise of our doctors but, unfortunately, medical care does not always meet the standards we have come to expect on some occasions. However difficult the circumstances, doctors have an obligation to treat their patients to the best of their ability. Where they fail to do so, they may be in breach of their professional duties. If you have been affected by an incident like this, you may be able to pursue a medical negligence claim for personal injury compensation now.
