Fatal Medical Negligence Claims
You may be able to make a fatal medical
negligence claim if someone close to you has died due to a
health professional’s negligence. If you feel that the correct
steps or actions were not followed to prevent the death, you
should contact our clinical negligence solicitors as soon as
possible.
Inquests
If there has been an unexplained or
unexpected death, an inquest may be held. You might feel
concerned about dealing with this on top of the loss of your
loved one. Our clinical negligence solicitors are used to
dealing with all of these matters. They will be able to support
and guide you through the process.
During the inquest information and
details may come out that lead you to want to enter a damages
claim for bereavement. This may include a claim for financial
compensation because you were financially dependent on them.
Your solicitor will go through everything with you once the
inquest is over.
Fatal Medical Negligence can include the
following:
-
Failures in diagnosing and treating
ischaemic heart disease and AAA (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm)
-
Delays in the diagnosis of pulmonary
embolisms
-
Failures to recognise and treat
intra-abdominal haemorrhages
-
Failures in care provided to elderly
patients in nursing homes
-
Hospital falls
-
Stillbirths and infant deaths
-
Not knowing or understanding what has
happened can be very distressing for those left behind. Our
clinical negligence solicitors can help you discover if, how and
why medical negligence has occurred.
-
Hospital Infections
-
Delayed Diagnosis
-
A reaction to medication experienced at
hospital or at home
-
Death to a mother or child during or
after childbirth

out what happened.
