Medical negligence solicitors Lymington

Helping to achieve the best possible outcomes for medical negligence claims in the Lymington area

Suffering an injury because of medical negligence can be a very traumatic experience for you and your loved ones. When a medical professional that you trusted with your care is negligent and you are hurt as a result, this not only causes a physical injury that has a knock-on impact on many areas of your life, it can also feel like a betrayal and that trust has been broken.

If you have experienced medical negligence, you might be able to make a compensation claim. No sum of compensation can change what has happened to you, but a settlement could help with your recovery and assist with adjustments that you might need to make to your life as you start to move forwards.

A successful claim can also help you feel that a measure of justice has been done for the incident that injured you and claims of this type can also sometimes result in changes being made to the way that things are done by medical professionals. This can help to ensure that what happened to you doesn’t happen again to others in the future.

How much compensation for medical negligence claims in Lymington?

The amount of compensation that you are likely to receive for a successful medical negligence claim in Lymington or elsewhere in England or Wales will depend on a number of different factors and individual circumstances.

A major factor is the severity of the injury you suffered and the impact that it has had on your life. It will also be taken into account whether the injury has caused permanent damage or whether some level of recovery is likely over time.

Other elements that will be taken into account when determining a reasonable sum of potential compensation include the impact of your injury on your ability to work, both now and into the future. Any expenses that you have already had to pay out as a result of the medical negligence, such as for specialist medical treatment to aid your recovery, can also be included in the claim amount.
