QUESTION: How do solicitors build a medical negligence case?

How do solicitors build a medical negligence case?

Despite the lower burden of proof, your medical negligence solicitor must still work hard to prove your claim. Since your claim involves a medical mistake, the most important evidence comes from your medical records and an independent medical expert’s opinion. So you have to build a medical negligence case that’s robust and solid.

Accordingly, a medical expert is charged with providing an independent assessment of the medical facts surrounding your claim. While each case is different, you can expect an expert to:

• Review your medical notes, for instance.
• Peer review your case, including the treatment prescribed by your clinician and any subsequent damage to your health.
• Judge whether medical negligence occurs.
• Ascertain whether the clinical mistake has caused you harm.
• Give you at least one physical examination.
• Give a clear prognosis informing you what, if any, long term effects the medical error may have on you.
• Figure out what further treatment and support could be needed in the future.

Build a medical negligence case that’s strong

During this time, your medical negligence solicitor may also gather witness statements. For instance, this might include statements of fact from family members, clinical staff and others present at the scene.

In short, these efforts help your solicitor:

• thereby build a clear picture of what happens and;
• furthermore, gather strong evidence to prove that medical negligence took place.
