Medical Negligence

  • misdiagnosis or diagnosis delay
  • surgical errors
  • injuries sustained during birth, including stillbirths and neonatal deaths
  • dental malpractice
  • failure to refer for investigations, specialist advice or emergency treatment
  • defective medical products
  • anesthesia errors
