Clinical Negligence Cases
Clinical negligence cases can come in many different forms and whenever a healthcare practitioner operates in an unprofessional manner that causes injury, the injured party has a legal right to pursue compensation for their damages. This is what is known as a “Breach of Duty” by the person providing medical assistance to the injured individual and it can result in life-altering complications that may require years of expensive recovery costs.
You are eligible to receive compensation for your injuries whenever you have suffered losses due to medical negligence. Claim Solutions Scotland Ltd can guide you through the entire claims process and help you to achieve the compensation you are seeking.
Types of Clinical Negligence Cases
While clinical negligence can come in many forms there are definitely some types of injuries that are more commonly encountered in Scotland. Here are some of the most common clinical negligence cases argued to the NHS board.
Accident and Emergency (A&E)
Medical professionals are required to check your medical history prior to providing medical treatment. This is done to ensure that the treatment they are providing isn’t going to cause additional complications to the person being treated. This is a critical step in the medical process and a failure to examine this information can be considered clinical negligence.
Prescription Error
You should never take medication that is prescribed to another person as it can be lethal to you. You are eligible to receive compensation if you have experienced a prescription error that resulted in injury or allergic reaction.
Misdiagnosis
Your medical professional can cause more harm than good if they end up misdiagnosing your condition. Misdiagnosis can lead to serious consequences and if a medical practitioner confuses IBS with something as deadly as colon cancer, the results could be deadly.
Birth injuries to children
Being born is extremely stressful on babies and it is your doctor’s responsibility to ensure that all the proper examinations have been conducted prior to determining the best birthing method available for use.
Birth Injuries to Mothers
Today’s modern birthing procedures involve numerous steps that must be taken to ensure that the birthing mother is being cared for properly. Pre-eclampsia and miss managed anaesthesia are the most common forms of birth injuries in Scotland.
Hospital Neglect
Unfortunately, not every hospital functions to the highest level of safety and health standards and in some cases an individual can become dehydrated or malnourished while staying in the care of medical professionals acting negligently.
Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery
According to a recent governmental study, the vast majority of plastic surgeries occurring in Scotland are not for cosmetic purposes but rather, reconstructive surgeries needed to repair the visible damage. Disfiguration and infections can occur when a plastic surgery goes wrong due to negligence.
