NHS Clinical Negligence Claims and Compensation

If a doctor, dentist, nurse or other health professional does something wrong there may be a case for an NHS clinical negligence claim.

Proving wrongdoing can be difficult; successful claims must show that your injury, ill-health or accident was caused by an incompetent professional or a lack of proper judgment and also that this poor treatment was directly responsible for your situation.

It must be shown that the healthcare professional has done something that most other care workers in their position would not have done, based on their experience and training.

NHS clinical negligence claims should always be handled by an expert solicitor – at claims.com we know just the right people.
