What Is Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence — also known as clinical negligence — occurs when a healthcare professional provides a standard of care that falls below what is reasonably expected, and that failure causes you harm.
It can involve a single error or a series of oversights. What matters legally is that the negligence caused, or significantly contributed to, your injury, illness, or deterioration.
Common examples of medical negligence include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a serious condition
- Surgical errors or complications caused by poor technique
- Prescription of incorrect medication or wrong dosage
- Failure to obtain informed consent before a procedure
- Birth injuries resulting from poor obstetric care
- Cancer misdiagnosis or delayed cancer diagnosis
- Dental negligence causing preventable damage
- Failure to refer a patient to a specialist in a timely manner
If any of these situations sound familiar, you may have grounds for a claim. Contact our Blackburn medical negligence team for a free assessment.

Step 1:
Free Initial Assessment
You tell us what happened. We listen carefully, ask the right questions, and give you an honest assessment of whether your case is likely to succeed — with no charge and no commitment required.
Step 2:
Gathering Evidence
We obtain your full medical records, instruct independent medical experts, and build a thorough evidence base to support your claim.
Step 3:
Letter of Claim
We formally notify the healthcare provider or NHS trust of your intention to claim, setting out the allegations of negligence and the harm caused.
Step 4:
Negotiation and Settlement
In many cases, medical negligence claims are resolved through negotiation without going to court. We pursue the maximum compensation available and keep you fully informed throughout.
Step 5:
Court Proceedings (If Required)
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Our solicitors have the experience to present your case with authority and precision.

Important: Time Limits for Medical Negligence Claims
In England, medical negligence claims are subject to a three-year limitation period. This generally means you have three years from either:
- The date the negligence occurred, or
- The date you became aware (or should reasonably have become aware) that negligence caused your injury
There are exceptions to this rule — for example, for children and for those who lack mental capacity. However, we strongly advise seeking legal advice as early as possible. Delays can make evidence harder to gather and may jeopardise your claim.
If you are concerned about time limits, contact our Blackburn medical negligence solicitors today.
