When you’re attempting to win an amount of money for a medical compensation claim, there are a few important things you need to consider. The compensation for a claim needs to cover the injured person’s medical costs, on going care, and any loss of income. Courts will usually award an injury that has caused pain and suffering, loss of social and educational experiences, emotional distress, and strains on a family. To win your injury claim, we have some failsafe ways in this guide:
People who work in the medical profession have a duty of care to their patients. This means that they must make sure their patients receive the proper care in the proper way. In most cases, medical professionals carry out any work they do to a high standard, however; mistakes can happen and this can cause suffering for patients. 78% of people needed extra treatment after medical negligence.
Making a medical compensation claim after an injury is possible if you’ve been injured due to the actions of a doctor, nurse, surgeon, dentists, anaesthetist, physiotherapist or another kind of medical professional. By claiming compensation you can relieve financial pressure caused by the injury, and also prevent the same thing from happening to another person. To win your compensation claim you must:
-
Seek advice quickly from a solicitor, lawyer, or legal professional.
-
You may need to speak to the medical practitioner before putting in your claim, as there may be some kind of misunderstanding.
-
If you still feel you need to make a claim, you’ll need a lawyer or solicitor to help you. Medical claims are always fiercely denied and defended.
-
Make sure you are totally transparent and give information as correctly as you can to your knowledge. Any information given incorrectly could go against your case.
-
Make sure you do everything your solicitor/lawyer asks to make the claim go as smoothly as possible.
You could be eligible to claim if:
-
A misdiagnosis or incorrect diagnosis caused a deterioration of the patient’s condition.
-
Surgical errors caused unnecessary pain and scarring.
-
Neglect, or lack of treatment caused a deterioration of the patient’s condition.
-
There were injuries to you or your child during childbirth.
The amount of compensation you could win depends on a few factors. This will include the severity of the injury, your wage (the higher your wage, the more money lost due to the injury, the higher the compensation), and the impact the injury has had on your life in general. Unfortunately, these claims can take a lot longer than usual as they are very complex. You’ll need to be patient and compliant in order to see your claim through to the end and win by ruling of the courts. The hardest part of a medical compensation case is proving that negligence caused your injury, even if you’ve already proved your care was negligent. You could be argued against that the injury would have happened regardless, or that your illness caused the injury in the first place. Medical evidence will be used, and specialists will argue both sides before a decision is made. Providing you follow our advice, you should win your medical compensation claim!
