Accident and Emergency Cases

Our medical negligence team are highly experienced in dealing with claims relating to failures within A&E departments.

In Accident and Emergency departments doctors are often required to make quick decisions to treat acute conditions.

Nevertheless, patients remain entitled to receive an adequate standard of care.

Accident and Emergency Departments (A&E) are the frontline of acute healthcare provision.  Doctors are required to make important decisions on treatment in a short space of time.  It is inevitable that mistakes will happen from time to time.  We have many years’ experience of dealing with claims arising out of errors made in A&E Departments. The types of mistakes that can occur include:

  • A failure to diagnose and refer for urgent surgery
  • A failure to refer for urgent treatment in Meningitis cases
  • A failure to diagnose fractures or ligamental damage
  • A failure to admit a patient into hospital following a wrong diagnosis leading to catastrophic injury or death

In order to succeed in any claim you have to prove that the error of judgement or mistake in the A&E Department was negligent and that the negligence caused you injury.  We can advise youpon your prospects of succeeding in your claim.

It’s very important for those who have suffered a serious injury to get early medical treatment and rehabilitation.  See our rehabilitation and interim payment page for information about how we can support you.
