What are medical negligence claims?

Medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence, occurs when a healthcare professional’s care falls below acceptable standards, causing harm. Common claims include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Missing or delaying critical diagnoses, such as cancer or heart conditions.
  • Surgical errors: Mistakes during operations, leading to complications or injury.
  • Birth injuries: Harm to mother or baby during pregnancy or childbirth.
  • Medication errors: Incorrect prescriptions or dosages causing adverse effects.
  • Neglect in care: Inadequate treatment in hospitals or care homes.

Marley Solicitors helps you navigate these complex claims, securing compensation for medical costs, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
