Medical negligence (often termed “med negligence” as a shorthand) is when medical professionals make mistakes or fail in their duty of care to you, leading to injury or making an existing condition worse. It is important to remember however that all medical treatment carries some inherent risks and just because the treatment has gone wrong or has not been successful, does not necessarily mean that you have been treated negligently.

The consequences of medical negligence (or medical malpractice) can be from minor to catastrophic ranging from just a small delay in your recovery to regrettably sometimes a loss of life. If the consequences are more serious this may result in you incurring greater losses and financial expenses during your lifetime, including loss of earnings and the cost of care. You may be entitled to recover these sums if they arise as a result of the negligence.
