Introduction
Accident and Emergency departments are meant to give urgent and life-saving care. But when doctors, nurses, or staff make mistakes, the results can be serious and sometimes life-changing. A missed diagnosis, a delay in treatment, or being discharged too soon can make your health worse.
At Claims 24 Hours, we understand how stressful this situation can be. That’s why we’re available anytime, day or night, to listen, guide you through your options, and help you claim the compensation you deserve.
Common Types of A&E Negligence
- Misdiagnosis or Missed Diagnosis – Serious conditions like strokes, meningitis, or heart attacks being overlooked.
- Delayed Treatment – Long waiting times or late responses leading to health complications.
- Incorrect Treatment – Wrong medication, poor advice, or incorrect procedures.
- Failure to Monitor – Patients discharged too soon or not kept under observation.
- Poor Record Keeping – Loss of test results or failure to communicate between staff.
Detailed Explanation:
Accidents happen, but medical staff in A&E are trained to act fast and accurately. When this doesn’t happen, your health can suffer. Negligence in A&E is not just about a mistake—it’s about a failure in the duty of care. If this has happened to you or a loved one, you may have a strong case to claim compensation.
Injuries and Conditions Caused by A&E Negligence
- Untreated fractures or broken bones
- Worsened infections due to missed antibiotics
- Brain or spinal injuries made worse by delayed diagnosis
- Permanent disability due to incorrect treatment
- Long recovery periods or repeated hospital visits
- Fatal cases caused by serious medical errors
Detailed Explanation:
Even minor A&E mistakes can have long-term effects. A broken bone left untreated might never heal properly. A missed infection could spread and become life-threatening. These situations don’t just harm your health—they affect your work, family life, and financial stability. A claim helps you recover these losses.
Can You Make a Claim?
You may be able to make a claim if:
- The mistake happened in an A&E department.
- The treatment you received was below the standard expected of a medical professional.
- The error caused your condition to worsen or created new health problems.
Time Limits:
Most A&E negligence claims must be started within three years of the incident or from the date you became aware of the negligence. For children, claims can be made any time before they turn 18.
Detailed Explanation:
Every case is unique. Even if you’re unsure whether what happened counts as negligence, it’s worth speaking to our team. We’ll review your situation for free and explain your options clearly, without pressure.
