General Medical Negligence Claims

Medical Negligence Solicitors

Medical negligence, or clinical negligence as it is more commonly referred to in the legal profession, refers to any and all aspects of medical care including but not restricted to:

Doctors and GPs

Nurses

Dentists

Pharmacists and Chemists

Midwives

Physiotherapists

Consultants

Paramedics and ambulance staff

The legal test applied by the Courts in England and Wales is a very stringent one and you must therefore bear in mind that poor service and negligence are not always one and the same thing. To give a very clear example, not being able to get through to your GP to book an appointment for say a routine matter like a sore throat is not itself negligent whereas your GP misdiagnosing throat cancer as a simple sore throat would most certainly be.

What the Courts must decide is whether any other competent medical professional would have taken the same course of action that yours did. That is quite different from asking if the right course of action was chosen, sometimes doctors are faced with multiple treatment options and the one they do select turns out to maybe not have been the best one – is that negligence or just bad luck?
