Hospital negligence can occur in an NHS or private hospital and can include:

• Mistakes made during surgery.
• Infections, including sepsis.
• Wrong medication given.
• Incorrect treatment provided.
• Not providing enough information to allow you to give informed consent regarding treatment.
• Misdiagnosis or late diagnosis.
• Omitting to do something, such as prescribing antibiotics.
• Birth injuries.
• Needlestick injuries.

In extreme cases, hospital negligence can be sudden and violent, resulting in serious injuries such as amputations, brain injuries, or paralysis. This can result in you suffering from mental health damage, such as Post -Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or and/or depression.

We can advise and represent you in claiming for psychiatric harm caused by hospital negligence. We can also recommend support services we know and trust if you need further help. You can trust that we will always act with compassion and sensitivity when asking you about what happened during your hospital treatment.

We will provide all the advice and support you need to act as a Litigation Friend. You will never feel like you are having to face the situation alone.

If we can help you bring a compensation claim, we can represent you under a No Win, No Fee Agreement. This means that you will not pay legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. We can further minimise your risk by organising After The Event Insurance, which will pay any expenses related to your case, such as expert witness fees and the other side’s costs if you lose your claim.

If you win your case, the other side is likely to be ordered to pay most of your legal costs and our legal fees. We will take a success fee in recognition of taking on the risk of your claim, and the percentage will be agreed in advance.

You can be completely confident that there are no hidden costs. As an SRA-regulated law firm, we have a legal duty to be fully transparent with you regarding how much you will pay.

Let us advise and represent you on your hospital injury claim. You can trust that we will always be on your side, protecting your best interests, and working tirelessly to get you the compensation you need.
