Failure To Monitor Patient Claims

Failure to Monitor Patient Negligence Claims

Medical negligence does not have to be a huge event, like amputating the wrong limb, to be dangerous. Sometimes simply not keeping an eye on their condition is enough. With Failure To Monitor Patient Claims, such neglect can have a huge impact on a patient’s health and well-being.

Failing to monitor a patient is a significant oversight with potentially far-reaching consequences, including death.

What is Failure to Monitor Patient Negligence?

Regular monitoring and assessment of a patient’s condition is a vital part of their care. Caregivers do not only need to look for expected signs, such as infection after surgery, or hypoglycemia in diabetic patients, but other symptoms of distress or illness which may help diagnose disease or injury.

There are several important occasions when patients require regular monitoring, including:

• After a head injury;
• While they are under anaesthesia, and after this has been removed;
• During surgery;
• After surgery;
• During labour;
• While at risk to themselves.

Monitoring should including checking a patient’s vital signs such as their heart rate, temperature, and oxygen levels. Midwives and obstetricians also need to monitor a baby’s heart rate during labour to make sure it is not in distress. Those at risk can refer to patients suffering from mental health issues. Particularly which may pose a suicide risk or dementia patients who are not aware of their surroundings.

How Can We Help?

The Medical Negligence Experts are a team of lawyers experienced in dealing with medical negligence compensation claims. If you or someone in your care has been a victim of medical negligence we can help you prove it and obtain fair compensation for any physical and emotional stress you have endured.

At your initial appointment, we will talk to you in-depth about the circumstances surrounding your injury and why you believe negligence was responsible. We will only recommend you proceed with a compensation case if it is possible to prove clearly the occurrence of negligence.

In medical negligence cases, it is up to the claimant to prove the malpractice occurred rather than for the care provider to show it did not happen, so it is important to get as much information together as possible.

How Does a Failure To Monitor Patient Compensation Claim Work?

There are four key stages of any clinical negligence compensation claim. Initial assessment – this is where we investigate, assess, and provide our professional opinion on whether your claim is likely to succeed.

Building the case

At this point, we collect and organise all the evidence we need to prove not only that you were injured or harmed as the result of your treatment, but that this was due to negligence and not some other avoidable reason.

Submitting the claim

A large number of medical negligence claims are settled without going to court. We will present the evidence to the care provider asking them to accept responsibility and compensate accordingly.

Completion or referral

If the care provider accepts the fault they will offer what they feel is a fair amount of compensation. There may be some delay at this point while we negotiate to get the best settlement on your behalf.

Should the care provider not admit liability we will refer the case to the courts and continue to act on your behalf until resolution. Just because your Trust or provider is failing to properly monitor a patient, we won’t stop monitoring the path to the compensation you deserve.
