Many thousands of people receive medical treatment every single day and in the vast majority of cases, this treatment is appropriate and effective. Unfortunately, sometimes things can go wrong, and the consequences on your health can be serious. If you, or someone close to you, has suffered injury or loss as a result of negligent treatment or medical malpractice, it may be possible to make a clinical negligence claim with the support of our medical negligence lawyers.
What is medical negligence?
Medical negligence arises as a result of having been injured, or otherwise negatively impacted, as a result of negligent medical care. If this happens to you, you are entitled to take legal action for compensation. In this instance, seeking the help of a specialist medical negligence law firm like Hay & Kilner, with our medical and clinical negligence experts, is the best course of action.
How can I claim for medical negligence?

Our medical negligence solicitors in Newcastle will be able to give you an estimation of how long your claim could take, and provide an estimate of how much you could be entitled to in compensation.
Can I claim medical negligence on behalf of someone else?
Yes, you can claim medical negligence compensation on behalf of a next of kin if they have died as a result of medical negligence, or they do not have capacity to take legal action themselves.
