Our Expertise in Medical Negligence Cases
If you’ve experienced medical negligence and have been injured as a result, you need help from a legal professional with specialist expertise in this type of case. This is where our medical negligence solicitors in Cardiff can help. Our lawyers have worked on and successfully handled clinical negligence cases of all kinds, including those involving:
Surgical Mistakes
A surgical mistake can be very serious indeed. It can cause damage and injury that could lead to pain, change your life for the worse or even be fatal. If you or a loved one has been a victim of surgical negligence, we can help you to claim compensation. Please call our clinical negligence team here in Cardiff on freephone 0808 175 8000 or fill in our online contact form.
Our solicitors have dealt with many different kinds of surgical negligence cases, so we’re perfectly placed to offer specialist advice. Examples include:
- Botched cosmetic surgery
- Damage to nerves or organs due to inaccuracy or incompetence on the part of the surgeon
- Amputations on the wrong limb
- Surgical items being left inside the patient’s body
- Excessive scarring following a procedure
- Infections developing after the surgery
- Complications with anaesthetic – for example, when a patient wakes up during a procedure
- The patient not being provided with sufficient information about the risks of the procedure before consenting.
Dental Mistakes
Anyone who’s ever experienced dental negligence will tell you that it can lead to extremely painful and distressing consequences. An ill-fitting implant, infection or a prolonged, painful condition are all avoidable problems that can be caused by a dentist or dental staff failing to provide the right standard of care.
If you’ve experienced a problem with the care you’ve received from your dentist, or from a dental surgeon at a hospital, you could claim compensation. To discuss your case, please don’t hesitate to call our medical negligence solicitors in Cardiff on freephone 0808 175 8000.
Claim Against your GP
When you go to see your GP, you expect to either receive a diagnosis or treatment – or to be referred to a specialist who can help. If your GP fails to provide you with a good standard of care, it can lead to delays in diagnosing serious conditions. Other potential problems include being prescribed the wrong type or dosage of medication.
If you’ve had issues with the treatment you’ve received from your GP and want to find out more about claiming medical negligence compensation, please contact our specialist team. Use our online contact form or call the Asher and Tomar Cardiff office on freephone 0808 175 8000.
Birth Injuries
Mistakes made by healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses and midwives during birth can be extremely dangerous for both mother and baby. Examples of this kind of mistake include:
- Incorrect medication
- Failure to identify and treat infections
- Poor care during the delivery, leading to injuries
- Failure to identify a potentially dangerous condition in either mother or child
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
In order to receive effective treatment, you need a proper diagnosis. The wrong diagnosis can waste valuable time and lead to treatment that either does nothing, while the original condition worsens, or that actually causes further harm.
Another common medical mistake is delayed diagnosis. It sometimes takes a little time to properly identify a condition and develop a treatment plan. It’s important to get the diagnosis right, so further rounds of testing may need to be done. However, there’s a big difference between taking care to get the right diagnosis and causing unnecessary and avoidable delay.
If a patient’s records are lost or a healthcare professional is not competent enough to diagnose the patient in a timely fashion, this can cause harm. A treatable condition could worsen or complications could develop. If this happens, it can be classed as medical negligence.
To find out more about claiming compensation for misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, please get in touch with our medical negligence solicitors in Cardiff on freephone 0808 175 8000 or contact us online.
