Visiting an Accident and Emergency Department is usually because we need urgent medical treatment. While most staff offer an excellent service, sometimes things go wrong.
Accident and Emergency Departments are high pressure environments, however as a patient you are due a duty of care and a standard of treatment.
Medical staff can make mistakes and the consequences of making an error can prove very serious for the patient.
If your treatment fell short of the accepted standard and you suffered an injury, you should seek legal advice to find out if you are entitled to claim compensation for your pain and suffering.
You can call a medical negligence specialist at Imperium Law on 0800 633 5730 to find out how to claim.
We can review the circumstances of your case and advise if you could be due a payout. If we believe you have a case to answer we can offer you 'No Win-No Fee' legal representation.
Our specialist personal injury team has years of experience successfully winning compensation, and are dedicated to winning the maximum payout possible.
Claim case example:
£200,000 compensation payout for the family of a patient who died after visiting A&E.
The family of a 31 year old man who died after visiting a London A&E Department has recently won their case for compensation.
The young man visited A&E suffering flu like symptoms and confusion. He was assessed in the minor injuries unit by a GP, who reassured him that he was fine. He was then discharged and sent home.
Sadly the next day he collapsed and died. After a full investigation of the facts surrounding his death, two independent medical experts concluded that had he been treated with broad spectrum antibiotics when he visited A&E he would have survived.
A claim was made against the NHS by his family. Liability was initially denied, however after negotiation the family's claim was accepted and a £200,000 settlement was paid out.
