Legal Specialists in Medical Negligence Compensation
Making a compensation claim for medical negligence is a complex process. Make sure you engage the services of an experienced specialist solicitor who will be able to navigate all the procedures on your behalf.
Establishing the basis of a claim
In the first place, it is necessary to establish that an act of negligence or substandard care has, in fact, occurred during the patient’s experience of healthcare.
It is then necessary to identify whether or not that act of negligence caused the patient to experience a worse outcome than would have been the case had there been no negligence.
This is not always necessarily the case as an act of negligence may have no significant impact on the patient’s outcome from care.
For a claim to succeed, ‘causation’ of a deterioration in the patient’s outcome is essential.
This investigation process requires significant and meticulous input from the most respected medical experts in order to establish the credibility of the patient’s claim.
Assessing the value of a claim
Once negligence has been established, it is necessary to identify the ways in which the negligence has affected the patient and their quality of life in order to develop a Schedule of Loss, identifying all their financial losses.
This can include an assessment of loss of earnings as well as the costs of care or equipment or specialist treatment as necessary to support the management of the patient’s symptoms.
Again, this process requires considerable experience in order to ensure that a fair and comprehensive evaluation is made. Experts in care, accommodation and rehabilitation amongst others are essential to this process.
Timing
To add to the complexity, claims for compensation for medical negligence are associated with a range of deadlines which must be adhered to if the claim is to proceed.
Legal specialists
A specialist in medical negligence law with extensive experience in supporting these claims will not only be conversant with the deadlines, procedures and medical issues but will also have access to a network of experienced medical experts to analyse the patient’s medical care.
An experienced legal specialist is essential to the success of a claim.
