What does medical malpractice involve?

  • Surgical errors: Mistakes during operations—such as wrong-site surgery, retained surgical instruments, or improper technique—that lead to complications or additional injuries.
  • Treatment failures: Errors in diagnosis, inappropriate treatment plans, or medication mistakes that worsen a patient’s condition.
  • Informed consent issues: Failing to provide complete information about the risks associated with a procedure or treatment, which undermines the patient’s ability to make an informed decision.
  • Post-operative care failures: Inadequate monitoring or follow-up care after surgery that results in preventable complications or prolonged recovery.
  • Systemic errors: Broader issues within healthcare settings—such as administrative oversights or poor safety protocols—that contribute to patient harm.

How can a solicitor help with medical malpractice, and what does it cost?

  • Case evaluation: Reviewing your medical records and consulting with experts to determine whether the standard of care was breached and a viable claim exists.
  • Evidence collection: Gathering critical documentation, expert testimonies, and witness statements to build a robust case.
  • Settlement negotiations: Engaging with insurers and healthcare providers to negotiate a fair settlement, aiming to cover medical expenses, lost earnings, and compensation for pain and suffering.
  • Court representation: Representing you in litigation if negotiations fail, ensuring that your case is effectively presented in court.
  • Strategic legal guidance: Advising you on the best course of action—whether to pursue a settlement or proceed to trial—and outlining potential outcomes and timelines.

Costs for pursuing a medical malpractice claim depend on the complexity of your case, the necessity for expert evidence, and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, with some firms offering fixed-fee or staged-fee arrangements for specific parts of the process. An initial consultation—often free or available at a reduced rate—will help you understand your legal position, explore compensation options, and receive a clear estimate of the potential expenses involved.
