Entitlement to compensation

By law, you or a loved one or family member are entitled to make a claim for compensation if substandard or negligent medical care has resulted in a worse outcome than would have been the case with an acceptable level of care.

For example, if substandard surgery has left you unable to mobilise and struggling to work and earn a living, such financial losses would be included in a compensation claim.

Therefore, before you can commence a claim, it is important to establish that you have, in fact, been the victim of medical negligence.

How to start the process

The best way to start is to contact a solicitor who is experienced in this specialised area of the law. Investigating a medical negligence claim can be extremely complicated, especially where the patient had pre-existing health conditions, or where more than one healthcare provider has been involved or where the outcome for the patient is particularly complex. An expert medical negligence lawyer will be able to guide you through this process.

A solicitor will discuss your experience of medical negligence with you and obtain your medical records in order to analyse the quality of your care. An experienced medical negligence solicitor will have access to the best medical experts, specialists in their field, who will be able to judge whether you have been the victim of negligence, to what extent, if at all, your current difficulties have been caused by the negligence, and what the likely long-term impact will be.

If it appears that you have indeed been the victim of negligent care, your solicitor will contact and negotiate with the legal representatives of those responsible for your poor care and outcome.

"Alicia has been wonderful throughout the whole process. Her kindness and professionalism has helped me obtain a favourable outcome and her personal support has been invaluable from start to finish.

I have been updated at every stage and Alicia has always been available to answer my calls or emails.

I am so pleased I decided to use Glynns Solicitors as opposed to one of the larger advertised injury claims lawyers as I am more than confident I would not have received such a personal service by a caring and understanding solicitor.

My sincere thanks to Chris Bird for allocating my case to Alicia, I couldn't have had a better service."
