Start Your NHS Negligence Claim Today
The NHS provides care to millions every year, and most of the time it’s excellent. But sometimes mistakes happen. When care falls below safe standards and causes harm, you may have the right to start your NHS negligence claim.
At Claims 24 Hours, we know this can feel daunting. That’s why we keep things simple and stress-free. With our No Win No Fee promise, you don’t pay unless your claim is successful.
What Is NHS Negligence?
NHS negligence happens when a doctor, nurse, or hospital fails to provide proper care, leading to injury, illness, or worsening health. It can include:
- Misdiagnosis or late diagnosis
- Surgical mistakes
- Medication errors
- Poor maternity or birth care
- Failing to spot serious conditions
- Neglect in A&E or hospital wards
If your care caused harm, you may be entitled to compensation.
Who Can Start an NHS Negligence Claim?
You may claim if:
- You were harmed by poor NHS care.
- A family member suffered or passed away because of NHS negligence.
- You’re a parent or guardian claiming for a child.
- You’re a representative claiming for someone who cannot claim themselves.
Common NHS Negligence Examples
Some of the most frequent cases include:
- Surgical errors — leaving instruments inside, operating on the wrong area
- Birth injuries — harm to mother or baby during labour
- Cancer misdiagnosis — delays that make treatment harder
- Medication mistakes — wrong drug, dose, or instructions
- Hospital infections — poor hygiene leading to MRSA or sepsis
- Neglect — not monitoring patients properly
What Can NHS Negligence Compensation Cover?
Compensation is about more than money. It helps you rebuild your life. You may be awarded for:
- Pain and suffering
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Loss of income or future earnings
- Care needs and support at home
- Travel or hospital costs
- Emotional distress and trauma
We aim to ensure you get fair compensation, not just the minimum.

Time Limits for NHS Negligence Claims
You usually have three years from when the negligence happened, or when you first realised it caused harm. For children, the time limit is different—parents can claim until the child turns 18, and then the child has three years from that date.
