Medical and Clinical Negligence Claims
When medical treatment goes wrong, the impact can be devastating, not just physically, but emotionally and financially too. At Roach Pittis, we’re here to help you understand what went wrong and, if appropriate, secure the compensation and accountability you deserve.
With over four decades of litigation experience, we provide clear, honest advice and skilled representation throughout your claim, whether it involves the NHS or a private healthcare provider.
What is Medical Negligence?
Also referred to as clinical negligence, it occurs when a healthcare professional fails to meet an acceptable standard of care, and that failure causes harm, such as injury, illness, or a worsening of your condition.
All healthcare professionals have a legal duty of care to their patients. If that duty is breached and leads to avoidable harm, you may be entitled to compensation.
We Handle a Wide Range of Medical Negligence Cases:
Surgical mistakes
Incorrect or harmful medication
Failure to diagnose correctly
Negligent emergency care
Post-operative complications due to poor care
Failure to obtain informed consent
We approach each case with compassion and a focus on results, helping you understand the legal process and make informed decisions every step of the way.
