What is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence is the term used to describe medical accidents. Sometimes the words "clinical negligence" are also used. Medical negligence claims arise when the treatment or lack of treatment you receive falls below what you were reasonably entitled to receive at the time. You need to establish that the medical practitioner acted in a way which is not in accordance with the practice of a responsible body of medical opinion.

Medical negligence claims can arise from treatment received from all sorts
of medical practitioners including GPs, Consultants, Doctors, Nurses, Dentists, Midwives, Opticians and Physiotherapists.

Victims of medical accidents often face a painful and traumatic future.
The medical and legal issues can be complex and very daunting. You may simply wish to make a complaint and find out what went wrong and why. You may want an apology or wish to obtain financial compensation.
