What Is a Nursing Negligence Claim?
A nursing negligence claim is the legal process of seeking compensation when a patient suffers harm due to substandard care by nursing staff in an NHS or private hospital. Negligence may involve errors in administering medication, failure to monitor patients, poor wound care, or neglect in aftercare — all of which can cause avoidable injury, illness, or even death.
If you or a loved one have been affected by nursing negligence within the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and get the support you need.
Who Can Make a Nursing Negligence Claim?
You may be entitled to claim if you were:
• A patient harmed by negligent nursing care
• A parent or guardian claiming for a child who was affected
• A family member making a claim after the death of a loved one caused by nursing errors
• A representative acting for someone who cannot bring a claim themselves

Types of Nursing Negligence Claims We Handle
Medication Errors
Mistakes in administering or prescribing medication — such as incorrect dosages, missed doses, or giving the wrong drug — can lead to serious health complications.
Failure to Monitor Patients
Nurses are responsible for regularly monitoring vital signs and symptoms. Failure to act on warning signs may cause preventable emergencies such as strokes, heart attacks, or sepsis.
Wound and Post-Surgical Care Negligence
Inadequate care of surgical wounds, pressure sores, or infections can result in severe pain, delayed recovery, and long-term disability.
Negligence in Elderly or Vulnerable Care
Failure to provide appropriate care for elderly, disabled, or vulnerable patients may lead to malnutrition, dehydration, falls, or neglect.
Failure to Escalate Care
Nursing staff must escalate concerns to doctors when a patient’s condition worsens. Delays or failure to escalate can result in life-threatening outcomes.
What You Can Claim Compensation For
• Physical pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life
• Emotional distress and psychological harm
• Corrective medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
• Loss of income and reduced future earning potential
• Care and assistance provided by family members
• Travel expenses and other out-of-pocket costs
• Funeral costs and dependency claims in fatal cases
How Much Compensation Could You Receive?
The value of a nursing negligence claim depends on:
• The severity of the injury and long-term impact
• Medical evidence and expert assessments
• Financial losses, including loss of income
• The cost of ongoing and future care
• The effect on independence and daily life
Solicitors rely on medical reports, financial documents, and Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate fair settlements.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
