Frequently Asked Questions

What is Medical Negligence?

Negligent medical treatment occurs when a medical professional provides care which falls below the acceptable legal standard. If you have suffered an injury (either physical or psychiatric) as a result of substandard care, you are entitled to make a medical negligence claim. 

Tragically, in some cases, medical negligence can result in the death of a patient. We are experienced in representing families in "fatal" medical negligence claims.

Potential cases can be investigated and claims brought against GPs, hospitals (for the actions of their doctors, surgeons, nurses, midwives, therapists etc), dentists and others that provide similar treatment or care. The terms "medical negligence" and "clinical negligence" are generally used interchangeably to mean the same thing.
