Private Hospitals Negligence Claims
Private hospital negligence claims can involve serious injuries which can leave a patient requiring additional surgeries to correct. This can leave an injured individual unable to search for lawyers for negligence in hospitals. Claim Solutions Scotland Ltd can help you to find the best lawyer to handle your clinical negligence and our expert staff can assist you in achieving your compensation goals by providing you with timely and helpful information when it’s needed most.
Private hospitals have been growing in popularity over the last decade and according to the 2014/15 financial report, the NHS spent over £20 million sending individuals to the private sector to meet deadlines and avoid the longer waiting periods found in the public health system.
Private hospitals are for-profit organisations and the level of care you receive from a private hospital can vary greatly depending on the hospitals budget. Every hospital must follow medical protocol regardless of whether it is public or private sector and you are entitled to receive compensation if you have been injured as a result of private hospital negligence.
Lawyers for Negligence in Hospitals
It can be in your best interests to wait to recruit a lawyer until you have spoken with a claim specialist. This is because most claims do not need to go to court as they are negotiated between your claim advisor and the hospital’s insurer. Having an experienced claim specialist on your side is critical to your success and Claim Solutions Scotland Ltd can help make the claims process as easy as possible including helping you to find lawyers for negligence in hospitals when your situation requires it.
What Do I Need to Lodge a Private Hospital Negligence Claim?
You will need to prove that your injuries are due to the actions of your medical practitioner and that they are as severe as you have stated. This can require a second medical opinion. It is difficult to lodge a claim for side effects agreed upon in your consent form because they are expected reactions to your treatment and could have occurred regardless of negligence. It is only when your caregiver acts outside of the agreed-upon procedure that it is considered negligence.
How Long Do I have to Lodge My Private Hospital Negligence Claim?
You will need to lodge your claim in less than 3-years from the date of your injuries. This is the maximum time allowed by the Scottish Courts and after this period you can no longer seek compensation for your injuries. You should never wait to lodge a claim because valuable evidence can be lost in the interim. Claim Solutions Scotland Ltd can gather the evidence you need to lodge your claim with confidence.
