Medical negligence can have life-changing consequences. If you live in Ardwick and believe that you or a loved one has suffered harm due to substandard medical treatment, you may be entitled to make a claim. At Marley Solicitors, we support clients across Ardwick and the wider Manchester area in pursuing fair compensation for medical negligence.
What is medical negligence?
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the level of care expected, resulting in injury, illness or the worsening of an existing condition. This can happen in a range of healthcare settings, including NHS hospitals, private clinics, GP surgeries, dental practices and care homes.
Examples of medical negligence may include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Medication mistakes
- Birth injuries
- Poor post-operative care
- Infections acquired during hospital stays
How to know if you have a valid claim
To bring a successful claim for medical negligence, you need to prove two things:
- The care you received fell below the standard expected of a competent professional
- This failure directly caused you harm or worsened your condition
It is not enough that something went wrong or that your condition did not improve. You must be able to demonstrate that the medical professional’s actions (or lack of action) were negligent and caused avoidable harm.
