Claiming For Medical Negligence
While we all expect our medical professionals to always give us the highest quality of medical care, the reality is, on occasion, different. The amount of medical negligence claims has risen by just over 9% in the last couple of years and, in addition, the quantity of money paid out in medical negligence compensation has also risen by some 6%. Indeed, these types of claims cost well over half a billion pounds each year.However, we have to ask the question, what is clinical and medical negligence? In its most basic form it is the failure of a doctor, nurse or other medical professional to properly and competently provide high quality care and treatment. Medical negligence compensation can be paid out for various avoidable problems; these can range from not receiving the standard of care expected of our health service or the failure of a doctor or specialist to correctly diagnose your condition and, as a result, you have suffered unduly. Indeed, this is not just limited to a hospital stay or a visit to your GP; instead, medical negligence compensation can be won through poor dental treatment or even physiotherapy. So, just because your claim doesn’t relate directly to a hospital or doctor’s surgery, doesn’t mean that you aren’t eligible to pursue that matter further.
Furthermore, medical negligence compensation is often settled out of court and some 43% of claims are completed in this way so should you not feel comfortable about pursuing the allegation all the way to a court of law, you often don’t have to. Providing top class and quality medical care is something that we should all expect from our world renowned health service however we do not always receive it; by claiming for medical negligence you are not opposing yourself to the health service instead you are, rightly, pointing out its shortcomings.
