Failures in Heart Care and When to Make a Claim
Diagnosis delays and treatment failures in the medical care of a heart condition can be utterly devastating for the patient and their family. Speak to a medical negligence solicitor about making a claim for compensation.
Negligent medical care of a heart condition
Scrupulous and timely medical care is essential to ensure that a heart condition is promptly diagnosed and treated. Delays can prove fatal.
The following are examples of failings in medical care which may contribute to a poor outcome for the patient.
- A failure to recognise the possible symptoms of a heart problem
- A failure to make an appropriate referral within an acceptable timeframe
- A failure to carry out necessary tests
- A failure to review test results accurately or at all
- A delay in treatment
- Inappropriate treatment or monitoring
When to make a claim
If you suspect that negligent medical care contributed to a poor outcome, speak to a medical negligence solicitor as soon as possible so that they have plenty of time to investigate the patient's experience.
It is important to be aware that sometimes, when the patient has sadly died, their loved one may be able to make a claim.
In order to issue a claim with the court, your specialist solicitor will need to investigate the quality of the medical care and identify whether or not there has been an act of negligence which adversely affected the long-term outcome.
If this proves to be the case, it may be possible to make a claim which would address issues such as loss of income and the costs of care, where appropriate, as well as taking account of the patient's general pain and suffering.
Such claims can be extremely complex so it is essential to engage the services of an experienced specialist medical negligence solicitor who will be conversant with the myriad procedures and assessments necessary to make a claim.
