When Do You Need A Medical Negligence Solicitor?

If you have suffered harm due to the negligence of a medical professional, you may be entitled to compensation. Medical negligence claims are notoriously complicated, and having a specialist medical negligence solicitor on your side can make a significant difference to your chances of success and the amount of compensation you receive.

What Types Of Claims Can A Medical Negligence Solicitor Assist With?

The term ‘medical negligence’ covers a wide range of situations and, in turn, a variety of claims. Just a few examples of the types of claims with which an experienced medical negligence solicitor can help include the following:

• Misdiagnosis Claims

Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis claims arise when a medical professional failed to recognise a medical condition, or mistook a medical condition for another, and the condition therefore went untreated, or was treated incorrectly.

While misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis claims most frequently arise in the context of patients with cancer, patients with any condition can be affected. Examples of conditions that are not cancer and are sometimes missed or wrongly identified by medical professionals include the following:

  • Bone fractures
  • Ectopic pregnancies
  • Blood clots
  • Pulmonary embolisms
  • Heart attacks
  • Birth Injuries claims

Birth injuries can be among the most severe claims that a medical negligence solicitor deals with. Injuries of this nature can be devastating, and can leave the baby needing round the clock, lifelong care.

Examples of medical negligence that can result in a birth injuries claim include the following:

  • Where the medical professionals responsible for caring for the mother and baby during birth failed to recognise that a caesarean section was required to avoid serious harm.
  • Where the medical professionals failed to recognise irregularities with matters such as the baby’s growth patterns or heart rate during pregnancy, which caused them to miss a serious issue.
  • Where the medical professionals made mistakes while delivering the baby, for example, by applying forceps or a ventouse incorrectly.

Birth injury claims are not limited to cases in which the baby suffered as a result of medical negligence; they can involve harm caused to the mother, too. For example, some mothers sustain severe injuries as a result of incorrectly performed episiotomies or caesarean sections. In these cases, those mothers may be entitled to compensation.

• Negligent Amputation Claims

While medical negligence amputations are rare, they do happen. They arise when a patient undergoes an avoidable amputation as a result of the negligence of the medical team responsible for their care.

Examples of the situations in which a medical negligence amputation can occur include the following:

  • Substandard diabetic care. People living with diabetes can experience poor circulation and damage to their nerves. As a result, even apparently incidental ulcers and wounds can cause them to suffer significant problems with their feet and legs.

If negligent medical care caused a diabetic patient to require an avoidable amputation, for example, because a wound was left untreated, their medical negligence solicitor may advise that they have a claim for compensation against those responsible.

  • Missed or delayed diagnoses. Sometimes, missed or delayed diagnoses can lead to an avoidable amputation. For instance, if a medical professional failed to properly treat an infection that deteriorated into sepsis and necessitated an amputation, the patient may have cause to make a medical negligence claim.
  • Surgical errors. Surgical errors that lead to unnecessary amputations are extremely rare, but when they occur, they usually give rise to a medical negligence claim. An example of when a surgical error leads to an unnecessary amputation is when a surgical team removes the wrong limb.

If you have suffered as a result of substandard medical care and would like to know if you are entitled to compensation, the specialist medical negligence solicitors at Simper Law are perfectly placed to help. We will review the circumstances of your care to assess whether they give rise to a claim. If they do, your dedicated medical negligence solicitor will work tirelessly to collate the evidence in support of your position which they will then use to negotiate the best settlement terms possible on your behalf.
