Client Testimonial
"Emma’s help has went above and beyond. I felt so alone in this process until I got in contact with Emma. The advice and support we have been given really has made a massive difference to Jack’s case. If it wasn’t for Emma, I feel I could’ve thrown in the towel and completely given up. But having someone like Emma reassuring and guiding me through the complicated process brought a huge sense of relief and a weight off of my shoulders."
Supporting Patients Affected by Medical Negligence
When medical care goes wrong, the effects can be life-changing. Whether you were misdiagnosed, received poor treatment, or suffered complications that could have been avoided, it’s natural to feel let down and unsure where to turn. At Mediclaims, we help people understand what went wrong, whether they have a legal claim, and what support is available for recovery and justice.
What Is Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence—also called clinical negligence—occurs when a healthcare professional provides substandard care that causes harm, injury, or worsens an existing condition. This can happen in hospitals, GP surgeries, clinics, dental practices, or even at home under community care.
Negligence can take many forms, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, delayed treatment, or medication mistakes. If this carelessness caused avoidable harm, you may have a right to seek compensation.
Common Examples of Medical Negligence
Every case is different, but here are some situations that may involve negligence:
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a serious condition
Surgical mistakes, such as retained instruments or wrong-site surgery
Incorrect or harmful prescriptions
Neglect in A&E, leading to avoidable deterioration
Failure to refer to a specialist in time
Inadequate care for vulnerable patients, such as the elderly or disabled
Poor infection control resulting in avoidable illness or sepsis
If something didn’t feel right with your care—or you’ve experienced harm you believe could have been prevented—it's worth exploring further.

Who Can Make a Medical Negligence Claim?
You may be able to make a claim if you:
-Were harmed due to a preventable medical mistake
-Experienced delays that worsened your condition
-Received incorrect treatment or surgery
-Are the next of kin of someone who died following negligent care
-Are acting on behalf of someone who lacks capacity to claim themselves
We also support parents making claims for children who were harmed due to failures in neonatal or paediatric care.
