Medical negligence compensation increase
The introduction of a new contract in 2004 concerning out-of-hours GP care could be one explanation for a rise in the number of medical negligence compensation claims being made.
For someone who has suffered the traumas of clinical negligence, a point comes where they must reach a decision: do they only want recognition of their suffering in the form of an apology or do they also wish to seek compensation in the form of a medical negligence claim.
A person might make a medical negligence claim for misdiagnosis, a birth injury, a surgical mistake, MRSA, or simply for generally inadequate care.
So, after someone who feels they have been the subject of clinical negligence has liaised with such organisations as the Healthcare Commission and Health Service Ombudsman in order to investigate making an official complaint, he or she may then wish to contact a personal injury solicitor with a view to making a medical negligence claim.
