When misdiagnosis, poor treatment or surgical errors occur, the consequences for the victim can be devastating. Whilst a patient may feel disheartened about the care they have received, how are they to know whether they have been treated negligently?
Victims of medical negligence deserve compensation for the pain and suffering they have endured, alongside any lost income or other financial stress which has resulted from the negligence caused. It is, therefore, vital that negligence is distinguished, and a full explanation is provided so that victims can get the justice they deserve.
Common signs which indicate that negligence may have occurred might be:
- Your treatment does not seem to be working or your condition does not improve;
- Your condition worsens or another condition develops as a result of incorrect treatment;
- Your doctor has not taken your concerns into consideration;
- You have received a different second-opinion;
- An error was made during a treatment or surgery which you have been notified of;
- There is a lack of communication and unwillingness to answer questions about your condition;
- There is a lack of aftercare following your treatment or illness;
- You have been suddenly referred to other specialists.
