What is medical negligence?

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional, such as a GP, nurse or dentist fails to deliver their patients the appropriate standard of care, and this has then resulted in harm for the patient. Every healthcare provider in the UK has a duty of care to all patients, and if this duty of care has fallen below the accepted standard, patients may be able to make a medical negligence claim against their healthcare provider. Medical negligence can take various forms and can happen at any time during the medical process but whatever the circumstances, if you have been let down or left suffering due to negligent care, you may be entitled to make a claim.

As expert solicitors with over 25 years in medical negligence we will discuss your individual circumstances to get a full picture of your case and let you know if you could make a medical negligence claim. To find out more about medical negligence, you can click here.

How much compensation could I claim against a Bristol hospital or GP?

According to a recent report, Bristol hospitals pay £13 million a year in negligence insurance costs (source: Bristol Post).The amount of compensation you are rewarded depends on various factors; including the complexity and severity of your injury or experience. In order to qualify for a compensation claim, it must first be proven that medical negligence did occur, and that it was specifically this negligence which caused a worsening of your condition that was otherwise avoidable.

Every case is different which means the amount of compensation will be too. In some cases, the nature of the injury or injuries can be complex and progressive. Our client was awarded £22,500 from University Hospital’s Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust after her baby suffered a brain injury during his birth. Our client then went on to develop a depressive disorder as a result of the trauma. At Patient Claim Line we work hard to understand every detail of your case to ensure we get the maximum compensation you are owed.
