Loss of Income Claims and Medical Negligence
Contact a specialist solicitor if negligent medical care is causing you significant financial difficulties. You may be entitled to make a claim.
Significant loss of income
When an individual is severely affected by negligent medical care, one of the aspects of their life which is often impacted is their ability to work. This can happen for a wide variety of reasons including the following:
- Their mobility may have been affected
- Their bowel continence may have been affected
- Their cognitive functioning or speech may have been affected
- Their balance function may have been affected
- Their fundamental health may have been undermined
It may be the case that they are still able to work but have to change the nature of their employment. It is also possible that, although they can still engage with their employment, the hours which they can manage are reduced.
As a result, they may experience a dramatic reduction in their income, affecting almost every aspect of life, as well as their future pension. For many people affected by serious medical negligence, the loss of income is not of short duration, it may well impact the rest of their working life.
Where this shocking and challenging situation has been caused by negligent medical care, it may be appropriate to make claim for compensation which will address losses such as these.
Medical negligence
Errors in medical care can occur across a wide range of specialties, both within primary and secondary care. It may be a failing by your GP, an Accident and Emergency practitioner, a maternity professional, a surgeon, or one of many other professionals within the NHS who have contributed to your care.
The negligence from which you have suffered may be related to a delay in diagnosis, an error of medication, a failing during a surgical procedure, a delay in carrying out tests or incorrect treatment due to incorrect diagnosis.
Whatever the initial problem, the on-going consequences can be significant and a successful compensation claim can help to recover those losses.
