What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice, also known as medical negligence, occurs when a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or nurse, provides substandard care that leads to harm or injury. This can involve incorrect treatment, a delayed diagnosis, or even a birth injury. Patients who suffer from these failures may be entitled to medical negligence compensation.
Common examples of medical negligence cases include:
- Birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy
- Brain injury caused by wrong treatment
- Orthopaedic injuries resulting from negligent care
- Hospital negligence or private healthcare errors
- Fatal negligence claims, where a wrongful death occurs due to doctors failing to provide the appropriate care
In such situations, medical negligence solicitors can help victims make a clinical negligence claim and seek compensation for their injuries and losses.

No win no fee medical negligence claims
For many victims, pursuing a legal claim against healthcare professionals may seem daunting, particularly regarding the potential cost of legal fees. However, at PR Scully, we operate on a no-win no-fee agreement, meaning clients face little to no financial risk when pursuing compensation. This allows victims to seek justice without worrying about the economic burden of clinical negligence cases.
The no-win no-fee arrangement ensures that clients can arrange for a free initial consultation, and make a claim, without taking on any costs. Once our experienced medical negligence team check the details of your claim and makes the compensation claim on your behalf with no financial risk to you.
The legal process: what to expect
When a medical negligence client wants to make a claim, our solicitor will guide them through every step of the legal process. This includes filing the necessary paperwork, preparing for court proceedings (if necessary), and negotiating for maximum compensation.
The medical negligence team will work to establish that the healthcare professional involved breached their duty of care, leading to injury or harm. In some cases, the solicitor may need to involve a litigation friend to act on behalf of a client, particularly if the person lacks the mental capacity to make decisions.
If successful, the client may be awarded financial compensation for the following:
- Pain and suffering from the injury
- Ongoing medical treatment or rehabilitation
- Loss of earnings
- Emotional trauma
- Care costs for severe injuries like brain injury or cerebral palsy
It is important to remember that every case is different, and the personal injury claims can vary in compensation based on the medical malpractice that occurred. When making a medical negligence claim, our solicitors will contemplate every aspect of the claim to get you the maximum compensation you are owed.

How much compensation can you receive?
One of the most common questions victims have is how much compensation they can expect. Medical negligence compensation pay varies depending on the severity of the injury, the impact on the patient’s life, and the financial losses incurred.

They can guide you through the making of a claim, helping you understand your rights and securing the medical negligence compensation you deserve for any injury suffered.
