What is medical negligence?

Medical negligence happens when a medical professional fails to deliver the expected standard of care. This can happen at any time during the medical process; from an initial consultation with a GP to receiving ongoing treatment or undergoing surgery. Whatever the circumstances, if you have been let down or left suffering due to negligent care, you may be entitled to make a claim.

How much compensation could I claim against a hospital or GP in Scotland?

According to a recent report, NHS Scotland has paid out over £30million in the past five years in compensation claims. Individual compensation figures can vary as every case is different and settlement fees can reach anywhere between a few thousand up to millions of pounds. The final compensation figure will depend on the complexity and severity of your injury, as well as the wider implications this has had on your life. In order to make a medical negligence claim, we must be able to prove that an avoidable mistake or error occurred, and that the mistake caused avoidable pain or suffering. Once this has been established, a compensation figure can be calculated based on factors such as loss of income and any expenses associated with your recovery. All cases are settled on an individual basis, and your solicitor will talk you through this.

At Patient Claim Line, our award-winning solicitors can help simplify the legal process and guide you through making a claim. Our friendly team will work to understand every detail of your case and will work hard to secure the settlement fee that best compensates for your experience..
