Understanding Medical Negligence: Support and Guidance from Harringtons LLP

Medical negligence is a complex area of law that focuses on instances where patients have suffered harm due to errors or omissions by healthcare professionals. At Harringtons LLP, we are dedicated to providing legal support to individuals affected by medical negligence, with our team having considerable experience in this challenging field.

What is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence, occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the expected standard of care, leading to harm or injury to a patient. This can happen in various healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, or GP surgeries. Common examples of medical negligence include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, incorrect treatment, medication mistakes, and inadequate follow-up care.

The consequences of medical negligence can be significant, potentially leading to prolonged illness, a worsening condition, or even life-altering injuries. In some cases, it can result in the loss of life. Medical negligence claims aim to secure compensation for the injuries and losses suffered and to hold the responsible parties accountable.
