Fatalities can occur in the medical negligence setting, in various circumstances, and it takes the highest levels of experience, professionalism and sensitivity to take a grieving family through the complex legal pathway that can often present.
Typical cases that arise include:–
- New born deaths caused by negligence during delivery or post delivery.
- Failings in paediatric care.
- Failing to diagnose cancer and other fatal illnesses.
- Inadequate care, assessment diagnosis and treatment in dealing with trauma injuries in A&E.
- Deaths during surgery.
- Failings in the mental health service where patients who should have been compulsorily detained are not and go on to take their own lives.
- Anaesthesia and intensive care failings.
- Inadequate care and neglect of the elderly in hospital or nursing or care home settings.
