Every year, millions of people undergo medical treatment in the UK. Although the majority of professionals in the country are competent and provide high standards of care and service, mistakes can be made. Thousands of people each year have been victims of medical negligence and have successfully claimed from doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, dentists and other medical professionals.

Medical negligence relates to any problems that have arisen as a result of a medical or clinical procedure.

Has a mistake by a medical professional caused you harm?

Did a medical professional fail to explain the risks of a particular procedure or operation?

Did the medical professional involved get proper consent before undergoing a procedure?

Have you received incorrect treatment or been given the wrong type of medication?

Have you had an unnecessary operation which has caused you harm?

Were you given incorrect treatment after being wrongly diagnosed?

If the answer to any of the above is yes, you may have a valid claim for compensation. However, medical negligence cases are only successful if the breach of duty or care has caused damage or further harm. If you feel that the damage to you would not have happened if negligence had not taken place, you have a right to claim for compensation.

You can claim for:


• Pain and inconvenience of injury.
• Loss of income during the time you are unable to work.
• Cost of further treatment i.e. medical checks, physiotherapy, osteopathy etc.
• Psychological therapy.
• Extra travel costs and expenses resulting from injuries.
