What Is a Hospital Negligence Claim?
A hospital negligence claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you have suffered harm because of substandard medical treatment in an NHS or private hospital. Negligence can include mistakes in diagnosis, surgery, treatment, medication, or aftercare that result in avoidable injury, illness, or delayed recovery.
If you have been affected by hospital negligence in the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and get the support you need to move forward.
Who Can Claim?
You may be entitled to make a hospital negligence claim if you were:
• A patient receiving care in an NHS or private hospital
• A family member acting on behalf of someone who has passed away due to negligent care
• A parent or guardian making a claim for a child who was harmed by negligent treatment

Types of Hospital Negligence Claims We Handle
NHS Negligence Claims
When NHS care falls below the expected standard and causes harm, patients may be entitled to compensation. Common issues include misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, and delayed treatment.
Private Hospital Negligence Claims
Private healthcare providers also owe patients a duty of care. Failures in surgery, incorrect prescriptions, or negligent aftercare can all form the basis of a claim.
Nursing Negligence Claims
Negligence by nursing staff—such as medication errors, failure to monitor patients, or poor wound care—can lead to serious complications.
Accident & Emergency (A&E) Negligence Claims
Delays, missed diagnoses, or improper treatment in emergency departments can result in life-threatening consequences for patients.
Missed Fracture Claims
Fractures that are not identified on X-rays or misdiagnosed can lead to improper healing, chronic pain, or permanent disability.
Sepsis Negligence Claims
Failure to spot and treat sepsis quickly can cause organ failure or death. These claims often involve delays in recognising symptoms or administering antibiotics.
Stroke Misdiagnosis Claims
Failure to diagnose and treat a stroke urgently can result in severe and lasting disabilities. Claims may involve missed warning signs or delays in treatment.
What You Can Claim For
• Physical injury, pain, and suffering
• Psychological harm and trauma
• Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
• Loss of income and reduced earning capacity
• Care and support provided by family members
• Travel expenses and other out-of-pocket costs
How Much Compensation Could You Get?
Every hospital negligence claim is unique. The compensation depends on:
• The severity of the injury and its long-term effects
• Medical evidence and recovery outlook
• Financial losses, including loss of earnings
• The impact on daily life and independence
• The cost of future treatment and care
Your solicitor will use medical reports, financial documents, and the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate a fair settlement that reflects the true impact of negligence on your life.

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.
