When you seek medical care, you expect to receive a professional standard of treatment. Unfortunately, mistakes happen, and when they do, the consequences can be life-changing. At HI Solicitors, we specialise in medical negligence claims, helping individuals and families get the justice and compensation they deserve.

If you or a loved one has suffered due to substandard medical care, you may have the right to claim compensation. Our expert solicitors are here to guide you every step of the way with clear, straightforward advice.

What Is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence—also known as clinical negligence—occurs when a healthcare professional provides care that falls below acceptable standards, leading to harm, injury, or worsening of a condition.

Some examples include:

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis – Failing to identify a medical condition in time, leading to avoidable complications.

Surgical Errors – Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong area or leaving surgical tools inside the body.

Birth Injuries – Negligence during pregnancy, labour, or postnatal care, leading to harm to the baby or mother.

Medication Errors – Prescribing incorrect drugs or dosages, causing severe side effects or ineffective treatment.

Hospital & GP Negligence – Poor treatment in hospitals, including infections, mismanaged conditions, or failure to act on symptoms.

Dental Negligence – Injuries or complications caused by improper dental treatment.

How the Medical Negligence Claims Process Works

At HI Solicitors, we understand that making a claim can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make it as simple and stress-free as possible. Our process is clear, efficient, and designed with you in mind.

1. Free Consultation

Contact us to discuss your case with one of our specialist solicitors. We’ll listen to your experience and let you know whether you have a strong claim.

2. Gathering Evidence

If we believe you have a case, we’ll start collecting medical records, independent expert opinions, and witness statements to prove negligence.

3. Notifying the Defendant

A formal Letter of Claim is sent to the healthcare provider responsible for your injury, detailing what went wrong and how it has affected your life.

4. Response & Negotiation

The defendant has up to four months to respond. If they admit liability, we negotiate a fair compensation settlement. If they deny wrongdoing, we’ll prepare to take the case further.

5. Court Proceedings (If Needed)

Most cases settle before court, but if necessary, we will fight tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve.

How Long Do You Have to Make a Claim?

Under UK law, you have three years from:

The date of the medical negligence incident, or

The date you became aware of the negligence.

For children, the three-year period starts from their 18th birthday. If the affected person lacks mental capacity, there may be no time limit.
