When medical treatment falls below the expected standard of care, the consequences can be devastating. As medical negligence solicitors in London, we are dedicated to helping victims of clinical errors secure the justice and compensation they deserve. Our expert medical lawyers provide compassionate support and strong legal representation at every stage of your claim.

Understanding Medical Negligence

Medical negligence also known as clinical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional fails to meet the standard of care expected in their field, leading to injury, illness, or worsening of a patient’s condition. This can include errors in diagnosis, surgery, treatment, or post-operative care.

Our team of medical lawyers meticulously investigates each case to determine whether negligence occurred and to ensure that every aspect of your suffering, physical, emotional, and financial, is addressed through fair compensation.

Common Types of Medical Negligence Claims

We handle a broad spectrum of medical negligence claims in London, including:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis – When failure to diagnose or delayed identification of an illness results in avoidable harm.
• Surgical Errors – Mistakes during surgical procedures, such as wrong-site surgery or leaving surgical instruments inside the body.
• Birth Injuries – Negligence during childbirth affecting either the mother or baby, including cerebral palsy and oxygen deprivation cases.
• Medication Errors – Incorrect prescriptions, dosage mistakes, or administration of the wrong drug.
• Hospital Negligence – Poor hygiene standards, falls, or inadequate post-operative care leading to infections or complications.
• Dental Negligence – Improper treatment, nerve damage, or failed dental procedures.

Each case requires a deep understanding of both medical and legal principles, something our medical lawyers in London specialise in.

How to Prove Medical Negligence

Proving negligence involves establishing that:

1. A duty of care existed between the medical professional and the patient.
2. That duty was breached through substandard care.
3. The breach directly caused harm or injury.
4. The harm led to measurable damages (physical, emotional, or financial).

Our medical negligence solicitors in London work with independent medical experts to analyse evidence, review clinical notes, and build a compelling case supported by factual data.
