Claims against the NHS

Whilst many people go into hospital and experience a high level of care and expert treatment from the medical professionals treating them, sadly, this is not always the case. We would all like to think that hospital is a place we go to get better - to mend broken bones, remove ruptured appendix and give birth safely to our babies - but the reality is that, too often, patients are leaving hospital with complications, illnesses that have been caused (or made worse) due to treatment during their stay in hospital, or injuries that have been inflicted through negligent acts or omissions by NHS staff. Claims against the NHS are made by victims of medical negligence on a regular basis as claimants attempt to claim compensation for the injury or illness they have sustained. This article looks at common reasons for people making claims against the NHS, what you should do if you think you may have good reason to bring a claim against the NHS and how to go about choosing the right solicitor for your claim.

Claims against the NHS arise for many reasons. These include injury or illness (or, sadly, even death) caused to babies during the process of labour, misdiagnosis of serious illnesses such as cancer, incorrect treatment being administered, broken bones not being identified on x-rays, brain injuries caused by lack of oxygen, dental injuries, medical implements being left inside the body during the course of an operation, episiotomy injuries and failed sterilisation or vasectomy operations. These are just some of the circumstances that lead people to make claims against the NHS for compensation - there are many, many more.

When considering making a claim against the NHS for medical negligence compensation it is important to gather as much evidence together as possible to support your claim. This could include a detailed account, in your own words, of what happened leading up to the alleged negligent act or omission (appointments, telephone conversations, consultations, and details of other relevant medical treatment you have received) together with copies of x-rays and medical notes (which may be obtained by your solicitor).
