General Medical Negligence Claims

There are many medical conditions which require the involvement of specialist practitioners and although many specialists have considerable expertise in their chosen area of medicine, this does not necessarily prevent medical accidents from occurring.

Intensive Care Unit
The roles of Intensive Care, Intensive Therapy and High Dependency Units are very important to patients suffering from acute life threatening illness who rely heavily on the expert treatment they offer and the aim is to prevent death and also to focus heavily on protecting patients’ vital organs and their function from damage. Ultimately the aim is to improve the health of the patient.
Ophthalmology
Ophthalmology can involve the treatment of many different eye conditions and can have tremendous results and benefits for the patients concerned in saving or improving sight, and one area of increasing popularity in the UK is treatment with laser surgery. As with any eye surgery, there are risks involved and problems do occur
Pressure Sores
Pressure sores are areas of skin and tissue which have been injured, and they are usually caused when there is a period of immobility, perhaps following a patient’s surgery, due to illness, or where patients are wheelchair bound. The elderly are particularly vulnerable to these sores, which are also known as bed sores.
Respiratory
Chest or respiratory physicians specialise in the treatment of respiratory problems, such as bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis (TB), lung cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and emphysema.
Strokes
A stoke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is the rapidly developing loss of brain function due to a disturbance in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain, and this can be due to bleeding (haemorrhage) into the brain from a burst blood vessel or due to the cutting off of blood and oxygen to a part of the brain due to a clot forming from a thrombosis or embolism.
