What is medical negligence?
Medical negligence means you have been injured or otherwise negatively impacted as a result of negligent medical care. If this happens to you, you are entitled to take legal action for compensation. In this instance, seeking the help of a medical negligence law firm like Hay & Kilner is the best course of action.
How can I claim for medical negligence?

The firm’s solicitors will be able to give you an estimation of how long your claim could take and provide an estimate of how much you could be entitled to.
