If you have suffered an injury caused by neligent NHS medical treatment, you are entitled to claim compensation.
Imperium Law can help you make a claim if you have received negligent treatment from an NHS practitioner.
In recent years staff shortages and underfunding have put a massive strain on the NHS, and as a result the number of negligence cases due to NHS failures has increased. Year after year more and more patients suffer mis-treatment and medical incompetence.
Last year alone 16,000 patients lodged claims against the NHS.
Many NHS scandals and cases of widespread patient mis-treatment have been highlighted by people coming forward to speak up about their own cases.
As a patient you place your trust and life in the hands of NHS healthcare professionals, if you are failed you are entitled to highlight the failure and seek compensation.
By highlighting poor treatment and clinical negligence you can prevent others from suffering a similar fate.
If you or a loved one has suffered at the hands of a negligent medical professional call 0800 633 5730.
Since 2011 fourteen NHS hospitals with the highest death rates have paid out £234 million to patients.
Compensation payouts depend on:
Compensation of £7.1 million was paid out to Clare Scott, a mother whose son was left brain damaged after being starved of oxygen at birth. Solicitors were able to prove that her son's spastic quadriplegic hemiplegic athetoid cerebral palsy was caused as the direct result of negligent treat by midwives at the Royal Bournemouth hospital trust.
The compensation amount was in recognition of the severity of the boy's disability and the fact he will need full time care for the rest of his life.
Critics may argue that is it unethical to sue the NHS, however medical errors cannot be excused.
Holding healthcare professionals accountable helps improve the level of service for all patients.
The cases of babies left brain damaged at birth because of an NHS blunder, or terminal cancer sufferers being mis-diagnosed by a GP cannot be ignored.
The thousands of people whose lives have been shattered by mis-diagnosis or inadequate nursing care are entitled to make a claim against the medical professional or institution at fault.
You have three years from the date of your negligent treatment to sue the NHS.
In special circumstances such as for claims brought by the children of a patient who has died, or when the patient does not have full mental capacity, an extension to the time limit may be possible.
Medical negligence is a complex area of law and therefore seek advice from a solicitor specialising in NHS claims.
The Francis inquiry investigated the mid Staffordshire NHS trust, it highlighted the extent of NHS failure.
Over £1.2 million was paid out to 120 victims of poor care at the mid Staffordshire.
It found 1,200 patients had died unnecessarily and concluded that patients were failed and warning signs ignored because cost control had been put ahead of patient safety.
