Can I Make a Medical Negligence Claim?

You may have just come out of hospital after a surgical or other procedure and you feel the effects of the treatment are making you feel unwell. You feel you were not told properly about this possibility. Can you make a medical negligence claim? Should you?

As a patient you are owed a duty of care by your Doctor, Dentist, Nurse or any other Medical Professional.
What exactly does this term mean? How different is this to a road accident or other personal injury? Well, supposing a doctor gave you a diagnosis that was wrong or delayed referral to a specialist. In so doing you became more ill, feeling more traumatised, suffering more loss of income? This is medical negligence often referred to as clinical negligence. Supposing a child or someone dies as a result of a failed diagnosis? Or maybe the surgeon operating made a mistake or even operated on the wrong person? What happens if the system that the hospital relies upon is faulty? All these come under the umbrella of clinical negligence.
