About Medical Negligence in the A&E Department
When you visit a hospital following an accident, you expect to get rapid treatment so that further damage can be prevented. In most cases, you will receive utmost care and high-quality treatment from the accident & emergency (A&E) department of the hospital. In a minority of cases, however, you may fall prey to medical negligence, which could have harmful consequences on your physical and mental health, profession, financial status, and even on the wellbeing of you and your family.
If you have received substandard or inappropriate treatment, you are entitled to financial compensation for hospital negligence in the A&E department. However, in order to win a claim, you have to prove that the loss you suffered is a direct consequence of the substandard or inappropriate treatment you had received. This is where we can help you. Once you contact us, one of our legal advisers will carefully listen to your experience, and provide you the best guidance accordingly.
Now, let’s take a look at some common mistakes that can be established as grounds for a hospital negligence claim.

Wrong Diagnosis – Some examples of situations where claims can be made for wrong diagnosis include not conducting proper investigations (such as blood tests, X-rays, and scans), overlooking the patient’s medical history, delay in diagnosis or being left untreated for long, and misinterpreting the test reports.
Wrong Treatment – You can file a hospital negligence claim for incorrect treatment as well. Some examples of negligence during treatment include errors during surgery, failing to note deterioration, substandard care after surgery, and prescribing the wrong medicines.
