What Do Medical Negligence Solicitors Near Me Do?

Medical negligence solicitors like ours investigate whether the treatment you received fell below the standard expected of a reasonably competent medical professional. They begin by gathering evidence, including your medical records, witness statements, and medical experts’ reports, to determine whether negligence occurred and how it caused your injury.

Your medical negligence solicitor then proceeds to assess your losses, both physical and financial. This includes evaluating the pain and suffering you have experienced, the impact your injuries have had on your daily life, and the financial consequences flowing from the medical negligence, such as loss of earnings, care costs, travel expenses, and future treatment needs. By building a detailed picture of your situation, our medical negligence solicitors can accurately estimate the compensation you may be entitled to.

Medical negligence solicitors also handle all communication with the NHS, private healthcare providers, or their insurers on behalf of their clients. They negotiate on your behalf, fight to secure a fair settlement, and, if necessary, issue court proceedings.

Above all, a medical negligence solicitor acts as your advocate, supporting you through a difficult time, protecting your rights, and ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve.

How Much Compensation Will A Medical Negligence Solicitor Near Me Secure On My Behalf?

Compensation in medical negligence cases is designed to put you back into the position you would have been in had the negligence never occurred. Of course, the impact of medical negligence is sometimes so severe that a financial remedy can never achieve this, but the law does what it can to compensate the victim.

This means that the amount you may be entitled to depends entirely on how the negligence has affected your health, your finances, and your future.

Compensation in medical negligence cases is divided into two main types:

  • General damages, which compensate you for your pain, suffering, and loss of amenity.
  • Special damages, which compensate you for your financial losses, both past and future.

General Damages: Compensation For Pain, Suffering And Loss Of Amenity

General damages compensate you for the physical and psychological impact of the negligence. These amounts are guided by the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG), a publication used by courts and solicitors across England and Wales to ensure fair and consistent valuations in personal injury cases. However, every case depends on its specific facts, including the severity of the injuries, and the patient’s prognosis.

General damages do not cover any financial losses that resulted or will likely result from the medical negligence. Special damages can add very substantial amounts to your total compensation.

Special Damages: Compensation For Financial Losses

Special damages are often where the largest portion of a victim’s compensation comes from. This is because medical negligence can affect a victim’s ability to work and earn money, and leave them requiring rehabilitation, care, and home adaptations.

Examples of some types of special damages that your medical negligence solicitor may include in your special damages claim include the following:

• Loss Of Earnings

If your injury meant that you had to take in time off work, you can claim for lost income.

If the negligence affects your ability to work long-term or permanently, the loss of future earnings can be considerable, depending on your age, occupation, and career path.

• Medical And Rehabilitation Costs

You can include any medical and rehabilitation costs you incur as a result of the medical negligence. For example, you may be able to include the cost of:

  • Private treatment
  • Physiotherapy
  • Counselling
  • Specialist surgery
  • Medication
  • Care and support

If the medical negligence leaves you needing care and support from professional caregivers, friends, or family, you may be able to include the cost of that care and support in your special damages claim. In severe cases where the victim requires long- term residential care, care costs can make up the largest part a medical negligence claim.

• Adaptations And Equipment

If your injuries mean that your home needs adjustments, such as wheelchair access, stairlifts, wet rooms, widened doorways, or even relocation, you may be able to include the costs in your medical negligence compensation claim.

Specialist equipment such as mobility aids, hoists, and adapted vehicles may also be included.

Our medical negligence solicitors will advise you on the value of your medical negligence claim when they have considered the evidence. They will then proceed to seek to negotiate a settlement that properly compensates you and enables you to move forward.
