What Is a Hospital Negligence Claim?

A hospital negligence claim is a type of medical negligence claim made when a hospital, doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional fails to provide proper care, causing injury or harm to a patient.

Claims can be brought in courts under UK personal injury law by:
The injured patient
A parent or guardian on behalf of a child

The estate of a deceased person in fatal cases

What Can You Claim Compensation For?

Pain and suffering
Corrective surgery or further medical treatment
Loss of earnings
Future loss of income
