Medical Negligence Claims
General Medicine Claims
The law relating to professional negligence in a general medicine claim can be very complex. At Duncan Gibbins we have experience in gaining settlements for our clients in an area of law where proving liability for the victim is extremely difficult.
General medicine claims can cover the administering of treatment by non-surgical means and includes medication for complaints to the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, blood and skin.
Patients place trust in their medical practitioner to administer the correct treatment and medication. It can be a great cause of concern if a course of treatment provided does not aid recovery, or in some instances makes the symptoms worse.
Doctors and nurses are incredibly professional and perform to a very high standard in a stressful environment. However, sometimes they get it wrong. If their actions have caused injury or suffering then you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. A medical practitioner may fail in their duty of care by:
- Failing to diagnose a medical condition or illness
- Failing to provide advice as to the appropriate course of treatment as soon as possible
- Prescribing incorrect drugs or medicine which exacerbate side effects or a previous medical condition
- Failing to recognise serious blood or brain injuries
