Medical Negligence Solicitors
If you’ve suffered as a result of medical negligence, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Morrish Solicitors has a specialist team of medical negligence solicitors dedicated to acting for victims of medical negligence.
Being a victim of medical negligence can be bewildering and it can be difficult to know where to turn. You have placed your trust in a healthcare professional and been let down, sometimes very badly and with serious consequences. Many victims seek a simple explanation, to understand what went wrong and why or an apology from the doctor or professional body concerned. Sadly, this is not always forthcoming.
Our experienced team of medical negligence solicitors can give you the help, support and legal advice that you need. We may be able to help you recover compensation for the pain, injury, disability and financial loss you’ve endured as a result of a medical mistake.
Are You Entitled to Make a Medical Negligence Claim?
If you have suffered injury, illness or your condition has worsened as a result of mistakes made by medical professionals then you may be entitled to make a medical negligence claim.
In order for a medical negligence claim to be successful, an individual has to show that the treatment in question fell below the standard of a reasonably competent practitioner in the relevant field and that they have suffered some injury or deterioration as a result.
The treatment could have been provided by private practice staff, NHS staff, GP practice staff, dental staff or pharmaceutical staff.
