Everyone knows that early, and prompt, diagnosis and treatment of cancer gives a patient the best chance of survival. However, doctors or other medical professionals sometimes make mistakes and may diagnose your symptoms too late. This can result in your cancer spreading, making it more difficult to treat and can result in a reduced prognosis and life expectancy
Sight is often considered to be one of the most important senses we have and, when it is affected, reduced, or lost altogether, this has a major impact on a person’s everyday life. Injuries arising out of negligent ophthalmic treatment can therefore be significant and you may be entitled to claim compensation.
Your GP, or GP practice, is often the first place you go to when you have a medical problem. For example GPs are responsible for considering potential diagnoses, treating your symptoms (where possible), and/or arranging and referring you for tests, specialist care and appropriate treatments. There are multiple opportunities for things to go wrong, or mistakes to be made which can result in all sorts of injuries ranging from minor to severe.
Obstetricians and Gynaecologists are not only involved in the care of pregnant women, labour and childbirth, but also provide care and treatment to women for a range of other symptoms and conditions. Mistakes can occur at any time and, if you have suffered injury as a result of medical negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by an obstetrician or gynaecologist, you may be entitled to compensation.
Orthopaedic care covers a range of conditions and treatments involving bones, joints, ligaments and tendons, to name a few. Mistakes can occur at any time and, if you have suffered injury as a result of medical negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by a doctor, surgeon, or other healthcare practitioner, you may be entitled to compensation.
During pregnancy, an expectant mother is treated by a range of practitioners they may not have come across before such as gynaecologists and midwives. Everyone deserves the best care during their pregnancies and labour but, sometimes mistakes occur, and injuries can happen. If you have suffered an injury as a result of negligence during your pregnancy or labour, you may be entitled to compensation.
Sepsis is a disease, sometimes known as septicaemia or blood poisoning. Meningitis is a disease which causes inflammation of the membranes in your brain. Both are potentially life-threatening conditions. Due to their potential severity, it is crucial that sepsis and meningitis are diagnosed and treated as early as possible. If you suffered from sepsis or meningitis and feel it was misdiagnosed or there was a delay in diagnosis/treatment, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
Spinal injuries can develop very quickly and have devastating effects on a patient’s life and that of their family and friends. If you have suffered a spinal injury as a result of medical negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by a doctor, surgeon, or other healthcare practitioner, you may be entitled to compensation.
Operations should always be performed to an appropriate standard of care and surgical technique. However, mistakes can happen during any operation and can cause you unnecessary pain and suffering. If you have suffered an injury as a result of surgical negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by a doctor, surgeon, or other healthcare practitioner, you may be entitled to compensation.
