Hospital Negligence Lawyers
If you’ve received hospital treatment and experienced delayed diagnosis, injury or illness because of mistreatment, you may be entitled to compensation.
Hospital Negligence Compensation Claims
Hospital negligence occurs when treatment provided by a health professional such as a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, chiropractor or dentist, falls below an acceptable standard of care. A failure to keep up to this standard will subject the hospital to hospital negligence claims.
If you have been harmed because of a hospital worker’s negligence, you may have grounds for a personal injury compensation claim.
Our team of specialised medical negligence solicitors at GMP Law have the experience and resources necessary to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

What counts as negligence in a hospital?
When a patient has a health issue and visits a public or private hospital, they have a right to expect reasonable medical care. This includes that:
- Proper history is taken and that a diagnosis on the issue or condition is made within a reasonable period of time.
- If surgery is to be performed, that it is done so in a reasonable period of time with the appropriate skill and care required of that medical specialist.
- Referrals for treatment to medical specialists are correctly made.
- Any post-operative care provided by nursing staff and other health professionals minimises – and certainly doesn’t cause – any further ongoing complications.
In most hospital visits, people are treated with compassion, professionally and with appropriate skill and care. However, sadly, there are many occasions when the medical specialists fail in their duty of care, such as failures to diagnose or refer to specialists, or from surgical errors or poor post-operative care.
A medical negligence claim differs from a medical malpractice claim. Medical malpractice is where a healthcare provider fails to provide reasonable care due to malicious intent. Negligence, however, refers to a healthcare professional who also fails to provide adequate medical care, yet as a result of incompetence.
The legal processes differ for each. Whether your compensation claim is tied to malpractice or negligence, our personal injury lawyers at GMP Law can provide you with specialised legal services for both.
