Medical misdiagnosis claims
A misdiagnosis can lead to life-altering consequences, causing you to miss necessary treatment or receive improper treatment that causes harm. At JNP Legal, our medical negligence lawyers understand how devastating a misdiagnosis can be and provide clear, practical advice on available options.
We will guide you through each stage of making a medical negligence claim, helping you to secure compensation that fully reflects the impact of the misdiagnosis on your finances, health, and wellbeing.
Hospital negligence claims
We receive treatment and care at the hospital from trained professionals, but mistakes can still happen. Hospital negligence experiences can range from delays in treatment to surgical errors, which could impact your health and recovery.
Our skilled medical negligence lawyers will investigate your experience and work to secure fair compensation for medical negligence issues where the standards of care were not met. We handle both private and NHS negligence claims and are here to ensure that your rights are protected.
Dental negligence claims
Dental treatment is crucial for your oral health and well-being, but mistakes can cause lasting pain and financial losses.
Our medical negligence lawyers are skilled in handling dental negligence claims, including failed procedures, misdiagnosis, unnecessary treatment, and other matters. We will be with you at every stage of the claim, helping you to secure medical negligence compensation to cover corrective treatments and other lasting impacts.
Birth injury claims
Childbirth should be a supported, accommodating experience, but mistakes during labour, pregnancy, and delivery can cause serious consequences for mother and child. Our medical negligence lawyers are dedicated to pursuing birth injury claims with compassion and professionalism.
We will investigate how the care fell below expected standards and advise on pursuing an a medical negligence claim. Doing so can help you fund ongoing treatment, care, and access to resources, helping you and your family recover.
Frequently asked questions on medical negligence
Medical negligence can take many forms, but some of the most common types include delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, surgical errors, incorrect treatment, birth injuries, and prescription mistakes.
Hospital negligence and dental negligence claims also fall under this area of law. In each case, a compensation claim can address the impact of your extended recovery times, additional treatments, and any long-term health complications.
The compensation you may receive will vary significantly based on a range of factors influencing your case, such as the severity of the injury or negligence, how it has impacted your quality of life and ability to work, and the cost of ongoing care. Our medical negligence lawyers can advise you on what your claim could realistically achieve.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the negligence, or the date that you became aware of it, to bring your claim for medical negligence. It is important that advice is sought as soon as possible.
If the limitation period has expired, you may be able to apply to the Court to set aside the time period, but it is extremely important that such action is taken urgently.
There are also shorter limitation periods for claims relating to injuries sustained whilst travelling by boat or aeroplane and for accidents abroad. For children, the three-year period does not begin until their 18th birthday. You are strongly advised to seek early legal advice.
The process typically starts once you seek advice from a medical negligence lawyer, who will assess the likelihood of your case being successful. If your case is deemed viable, your solicitor will begin gathering medical records and other evidence, arranging independent expert reports, and notifying the healthcare provider or hospital of your claim.
Many claims can be successfully settled through negotiation, but in certain cases, Court involvement becomes necessary. Throughout the process, our medical negligence lawyers will work to ensure that your case is handled professionally and that you feel supported.
In order to bring a successful claim for medical negligence, you will typically need copies of your medical records, evidence of the harm caused, and details of the treatment you received. This could include prescriptions, test results, photographs, and witness statements.
Sometimes, independent medical experts are also contacted to provide further assessments on the injury and care you received. Collecting evidence early is key to building a strong medical negligence claim case.
Many medical negligence claims can be resolved through negotiation between your solicitor and the healthcare provider or the hospital’s legal team. Mediation and alternative dispute resolution offer faster and less expensive ways to secure compensation. Furthermore, NHS negligence claims are typically handled through established resolution schemes.
