When qualifying to be a medical practitioner, each individual is presented with a duty of care to take care of their patients in the best possible way. If they breach their duty of care and you sustain injuries or health complications, you may be eligible to claim compensation. If you would like to start a successful claim, contact our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side. By law, care must be provided by a medical practitioner to a reasonable level, or otherwise, you may sustain injuries.
Duty of Care
All medical practitioners such as doctors, nurses and dentists must provide a reasonable duty of care to their patients in public and private practices. From education to their medical career, medical professionals are constantly reminded of their duty of care to their patients and must use their professional knowledge to decide upon an action to take which would treat a patient’s medical issue in the best possible way.
When claiming a medical negligence claim, we have to consider ho the medical practitioner breached their duty of care. To ensure a successful claim, our experienced medical negligence solicitors must prove that duty of care was owed to you, and it was breached by the professional. Our solicitors will also help demonstrate what injuries or complications you sustained from negligence and how they were a direct link to the breach of care. We will also assess how much compensation you may get, depending on the severity of the damages or injuries. If you would like to start a successful medical negligence claim, contact our solicitors now.
