What is a medical negligence?

Any form of medical negligence can disrupt your life, at least temporarily. Sometimes, negligence can result in long-lasting health issues, and in severe cases, it can even be fatal.

Can I Claim Against a Private Practitioner or Just the NHS? When medical negligence occurs, any healthcare practitioner, whether private or within the NHS, can be held accountable for your injury. Medical negligence is not limited to hospital stays or visits; many treatments, including cosmetic procedures or dental work, can lead to serious injuries if they go awry. You have every right to pursue a compensation claim, whether it involves a large NHS trust or a small private clinic.

All healthcare organisations have a duty of care to their patients and should be expected to provide the necessary compensation if they have failed to ensure your safety.

While compensation cannot erase your injury or condition, it can provide the support needed to move forward or restore your life to its pre-incident state.

At Scotland Injury Solicitors, we’re here to provide you with the information and support you need to make a claim.

Road Traffic Accident

When you find yourself involved in a road traffic accident, the aftermath can be overwhelming.
