Receiving a high level of care when in need of medical assistance is an expectation, however, unfortunately you may experience a medical professional failing to provide you with a satisfactory level of care and treatment, resulting in further injuries, loss of enjoyment of life and medical costs. Medical professionals have an obligation to provide the highest level of care and when this doesn’t occur, it is known as medical negligence or medical malpractice.
This is a highly specialised area of medical law, requiring an experienced medical negligence lawyer to handle compensation claims of this nature.
What is Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence or medical malpractice is when your doctor, hospital, pharmacist, health care provider, dentist, surgery or health care worker fails to provide you with a level of reasonable care and skill that is deemed reasonable by other medical industry professionals. Even an unforeseen complication with an existing illness could have been caused by medical negligence from a previous health care provider or health professional.
If you have suffered significant injury, loss or damage as a result of a health professional failing to provide adequate medical care, then you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation for this trauma and require the legal services of an experienced medical negligence compensation lawyer. Medical negligence claims include but aren’t limited to compensation for a number of reasons, such as cerebral palsy, mental health, medical misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, providing incorrect test results, head injuries, cardiac injuries, negligent medical treatment, surgery and more.
