Medical Negligence
While in the hospital for illness or injury treatment, one anticipates receiving excellent care. In most instances, patients and their families indeed experience a high standard of care. Regrettably, medical negligence, or clinical negligence, can occur in various situations, leading to additional injury, suffering, and complications. The Dean Wilson Medical Negligence team are here to assist, offering expertise and support to navigate hospital negligence claims, aiming to provide not only legal representation but also understanding and assistance throughout this challenging process for patients and their families.
In hospital, one expects excellent care, but unfortunately, medical negligence by staff can lead to additional injury, suffering, and complications. Hospital negligence claims encompass various issues, primarily medical or surgical mistakes. Examples range from misdiagnosing illnesses to poor nursing care and surgical errors.
Our experienced team handles a wide range of hospital negligence cases, providing not only dedicated legal representation but also empathetic support through what can be a challenging process for patients and their families
Hospital or medical or clinical negligence claims can cover a huge variety of claims but generally fall into two categories: medical mistakes or surgical mistakes. Examples can include:
This list is just a sample and there are many more types of hospital negligence for which claims can be made.

Our team has the experience and empathy not only to properly pursue your claim on your behalf but also to support you and your family through what can be a demanding process.
