Hospital Negligence: Understanding Your Rights

When you enter hospital, you place your health and wellbeing in the hands of medical professionals. If something goes wrong, it can be upsetting and difficult to know where to turn. We can help you understand whether your care should be independently investigated.

When might hospital treatment be negligent?

A claim may be possible where care fell below an acceptable standard and caused avoidable injury or a worse outcome. Examples include surgical mistakes, missed diagnoses, medication errors and failures in monitoring or aftercare. A recognised complication does not automatically mean negligence occurred.

If you have been injured though a sub-standard surgical procedure then you may be able to make a Surgical Negligence Claim.

Wrong diagnosis

If the hospital has misdiagnosed your condition this can lead to a delay in treatment, a lack of treatment, or in the worst cases a debilitating condition or death

Incorrect medication

If your hospital has prescribed you incorrect medication that has led to complications in your treatment, or physical or mental injury then you may be able to make an Incorrect Medication Claim

Dental negligence

If your hospital or dentist has given you treatment that led to complications then you may be able to make a Dental Negligence claim

Accidental injuries

Even in a hospital environment accidents happen. If you have slipped or tripped, in a hospital and injured yourself, on a wet floor when there is no “Wet Floor” sign then you can make a claim against the hospital for personal injury
