Duty of Care, Breach of Duty & Damage

In the majority of cases in this country, fortunately, medical professionals carry out their work to a high standard however sometimes mistakes do happen and patients can suffer as a result.

If the actions of the medical professional (for example doctor, nurse, surgeon or dentist, or an anaesthetist) fell below medically accepted standards (breach of duty) and you incurred an injury or loss due to the actions (or lack of actions) (damage) then you may be liable to make a medical negligence claim (also known as a 'clinical negligence claim').
