Claims for compensation
When treatment has been negligent and caused harm, most people want honest answers and explanations about what happened and to see that learning takes place to stop the same thing happening to someone else. However, it is also perfectly reasonable to seek compensation.
At the moment, the only way to get full compensation for clinical negligence is by taking legal action. Legal action can’t put things right but it can help you to cope with the consequences.
