Challenging the Quality of Your Medical Care
Speak to a specialist solicitor if you suspect that your medical care has been below the standard which would normally be expected and has caused you to suffer as a consequence.
Errors and failings in medical care
Thousands of interactions take place every day between medical professionals and their patients. That includes examinations, diagnoses, prescriptions, assessments, referrals and surgical procedures amongst many, many more types of interaction.
The vast majority of these interactions follow accepted norms and guidelines and produce helpful outcomes.
Occasionally, however, something goes wrong. It may seem to be a small thing or it may be something more obviously major but it can have a significant effect on the patient's long-term health, well-being and quality of life.
If you feel that you or a loved one have been the victim of substandard or negligent medical care, you should contact a specialist medical negligence solicitor as soon as possible so that they can investigate the quality of your medical care.
Assessing the evidence for signs of negligence
The first step is establish whether or not there has been a breach of duty or an act of negligence in the course of your medical care. This may relate to a wide range of actions or failings which have, in some way, affected the quality of your outcome. It could, for example, be a failure of examination, a misdiagnosis of your symptoms, a failure to make a necessary referral or an error in surgery.
Once you have chosen a specialist solicitor, they will obtain copies of your medical records and engage the services of the best medical experts who will make a thorough analysis of the quality of your care. As a result of this, they will be able to identify if any of the medical professionals involved in your care have been negligent and whether this has had an adverse impact on your outcome.
This stage is crucial because, if there is no negligence or no impact on you, there will be no claim.
Valuing your claim
If it would appear that you have been the victim of negligence and that you are entitled to make a claim, your solicitor will gather all the necessary evidence to calculate your financial losses. This could include any loss of earnings which you have suffered and are likely to suffer in the future.
It could also include the costs of any treatment, care or equipment which you require because of your symptoms which would not have been necessary but for the negligence.
