What is 'Medical Negligence'?
In a perfect world, medical professionals would always provide the highest standard of care. However, mistakes can and do happen. When they do, the consequences can be devastating, leaving patients unable to work or in need of extra care and assistance. At Dutton Gregory Solicitors, we have a team of specialists who advocate for victims of medical negligence, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
When is there a case of Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the expected standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. This can happen in various ways, such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, improper treatment, or medication mistakes. The impact of these errors can be life-altering, leading to physical, emotional, and financial challenges.
