Every person who became a victim of medical
negligence can seek compensation for any loses suffered. The fight for the
money that you are entitled to will not be easy, so it is wise to contact a
company, that will represent you in the clinical negligence claim. Apart from
that we should take care of the formalities and gather all the appropriate
materials to validate that it is the medical facility we were treated in that
is at fault.We should collect all discharges from the hospital, the medical record and a precise description of all treatments and medications that we had prescribed. Each patient has the right to check his medical record and may ask for a copy of the documentation, while the employees of the medical facility are obliged to do so. Another step we can decide to take, in order to be sure that during our medical treatment a mistake was made and hence we are entitled to seek indemnification, is seeking advice from another specialist. What is more, if we decide that the hospital has committed a crime during our treatment, we can inform the prosecutor’s office, and they will most certainly take proper actions.
It should be stressed that the
indemnification processes against medical facilities and doctors who committed clinical negligence are not easy
and they usually take years to resolve. Hence it is a very good idea to seek
help in law firms, which will contact the insurers, negotiate beneficial
conditions and settlements, and prepare a lawsuit – if it is completely
necessary to take any legal actions. When it comes to UK indemnifications the
rates may vary in accordance with the scope of damages and loses we suffered.
One more thing that should be mentioned is that when we seek help with the
lawyer, we bare absolutely no costs, since his fee is paid by the insurance
company of the person responsible for the accident or negligence.
