Private hospital negligence

If you have been treated in the private sector we need to identify exactly who was responsible for the medical mistakes. The doctors are generally self employed and separately insured, the nurses are likely to be employed by the private hospital and insured by the hospital, the responsibility for the equipment is that of the hospital, responsibility for follow up and referral is the responsibility of the doctor, the physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other professionals may either be employed by the hospital or self employed.

We will identify exactly what went wrong in your treatment and who was responsible for the medical negligence. Your hospital negligence claim is then brought against the appropriate insured defendant.

If you feel you have been a victim of medical negligence whilst being treated in hospital we would recommend you speak to an expert medical negligence lawyers, who can give you advice and guidance on how to make a claim for compensation.
