Medical Negligence: Death caused by negligence.

Why pursue a clinical negligence claim for death arising out of negligent treatment.

When a loved one is lost before their time at the hands of someone they should have been safe with, you are often left to wonder ‘why?’.

We help you investigate what went wrong with the care of your loved one, the cause of death, and whether anything should have been done differently to prevent the death.

We work on a ‘No win, no fee’ basis so that you do not face the added burden of legal fees, whilst also helping you to uncover the truth.

Types of medical negligence that may cause death are vast. No two deaths are the same either in type or circumstance and we understand that each unique case must be handled by lawyers and solicitors who have very high standards of care. Also deep empathy and analytical expertise.

A few examples of medical negligence that may cause premature death are:-

• Failure to treat, or to treat within a reasonable timescale.
• Misdiagnosis leading to the incorrect treatment (or no treatment at all), resulting in premature death.
• Surgical mistakes resulting in premature death.
• Diagnostic procedures resulting in premature death.
• Incorrect treatment resulting in accelerated illness and death.

We fight for answers, justice and compensation.

Our healthcare system is a fantastic thing, however clinical practitioners, whether it’s a GP, a hospital consultant, or a surgeon, still owe a duty of care to the patients they treat.

When the standard of care falters and causes the loss of a loved one, it can often be difficult to get a clear answer as to what went wrong, why it went wrong and what has been done to prevent history repeating itself.

Our robust and tenacious team of medical negligence solicitors act for you, to find the answers to your questions and seek compensation for any dependants of the loved one who has passed away.

Are there any upfront fees to make a claim?

We run our medical negligence claims on a Conditional Fee Agreement, more commonly known as a ‘No win, no fee’ agreement.

What this means is that we will run the claim for you. We deduct a small fee from your settlement compensation to meet our fees and expenses (which is a capped fee) if your claim is successful.

This provides complete cost transparency and comfort at a time where a medical mistake may have left you struggling financially.
