Out of Hours Services, NHS 111 and When to Claim Compensation
Contact the medical negligence legal specialists if you or a loved one are struggling with the impact of negligent medical care.
The right to appropriate medical care
If a patient suffers a worse long-term outcome following substandard or negligent medical care than should have been the case with an appropriate level of care, they are legally entitled to claim compensation for the consequences.
This applies whether the medical professional in question is encountered in the hospital, in the GP surgery or over the phone.
The response provided by the Out-of-hours and NHS 111 services should ensure that the patient's symptoms and concerns are assessed and that an appropriate course of action is taken or initiated.
A failure by a medical professional to provide competent and appropriate care may justify a claim for compensation.
Failings in examination, assessment, diagnosis, red flag warnings, referrals and treatment can all result in the patient suffering unnecessarily.
The impact of medical negligence
The extent and type of problems experienced by a patient as a result of such negligence will vary enormously depending on their underlying condition and the nature of the negligence.
In the worst cases the results may be catastrophic, as a delay in diagnosis and treatment can leave a patient struggling with permanent disability or facing a very real threat of multiple organ failure and death.
A successful claim will address the issues caused by the negligence such as loss of earnings and costs of care, treatment or specialist equipment.
Claiming compensation
If you suspect that either you or a loved one have received substandard care from an Out-of-hours service or NHS 111, resulting in significant difficulties which would not otherwise have been the case, it is essential that you get the support of a specialist in medical negligence law.
Making a claim for compensation for medical negligence is a complicated process and a specialist solicitor will not only be conversant with the procedures and deadlines associated with such claims but will also be able to investigate the validity and value of your claim knowledgably and comprehensively.
