Undergoing any type of medical treatment can be a worrying experience and generally most people receive high-standard care within the NHS without having to think about needing the services of a medical negligence lawyer.
Unfortunately, for a small minority of patients, an avoidable incident occurs which results in trauma, pain or loss of earnings because of the actions or inaction of one or more health professionals involved in their care.
When the National Health Service was set up in 1948 it was hailed as a huge breakthrough in improving the lives of citizens, regardless of where they lived and their ability to pay for the best treatment and that is still the case. A complaints procedure has been in place, too, throughout the last 50 years not only to offer redress to patients who have suffered unnecessarily but also to improve systems and procedures in the hope that a risk to patient safety will not be repeated.
If you are unhappy or more unwell than you believe you should be as a result of a medical procedure, the first step is to go back to your doctor or consultant and ask for an explanation of your problems.
If you are still dissatisfied, contact the Patients Advisory Liaison Service (PALS), the Patients Association or any voluntary support or charity group which may be involved with the medical condition from which you are suffering.
Finally, seek legal advice from a specialist clinical negligence solicitor who can talk to you about making a formal complaint and seeking compensation.
Since 2000, when there were changes in personal injury legislation, it has become far easier to find a reputable medical negligence lawyer who will understand your situation and offer professional opinion and expertise built up through dealing with similar cases.
The Law Society, which monitors the work of all legal practitioners in England and Wales, checks all registered solicitors through the Solicitors Regulation Authority and offers assistance to the public in choosing a suitable expert in cases of personal injury as does the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
