Hospitals are usually the best place to be if you need medical attention, but that doesn’t mean that mistakes aren’t made. Whether your treatment was provided by the NHS or via a private practice, we’re here to help you.
Nursing care
Did you, or someone close to you, receive incorrect medication?
Did a nurse fail to conduct proper observation of temperature, resulting in preventable suffering?
Or perhaps a careless theatre nurse left a swab inside the patient, or there was a lack of attention to the risk of pressure sores or falls, with serious consequences.
If so, you may be eligible for compensation – we can talk you through the process of making a claim.
A&E medical negligence
A trip to the Accident & Emergency (A&E) department is not something anyone takes lightly. It’s the first place you go when you need medical help in a crisis. Consequently, when things go wrong, they can have a serious impact on you and your family.
Hospital-acquired infections
Warm and humid hospitals inevitably play host to bacteria and viruses that can have alarming effects on susceptible patients whose immunity may be weak. Recent years have seen the emergence and partial eradication of the so-called ‘hospital bugs’, such as MRSA and C. Difficile, with revived focus on hospital cleanliness and hygiene. Where infection control standards slip and a patient suffers, hospitals may be held accountable.
