NHS Negligence Claims
If you or a loved one have suffered harm because NHS care fell below the expected standard, you may be entitled to compensation. NHS negligence can include errors in diagnosis, surgery, treatment, medication, or delays in care that cause avoidable injury, illness, or complications.
LITKRAFT can help you bring an NHS negligence claim and secure the support and compensation you deserve.

Types of NHS Negligence Claims We Handle
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
When NHS doctors fail to diagnose correctly or on time, conditions such as cancer, stroke, meningitis, or fractures can worsen unnecessarily.
Surgical Errors in NHS Hospitals
Mistakes during NHS operations – including wrong-site surgery, retained surgical instruments, or poor technique – can lead to long-term disability or further treatment.
A&E Negligence
Delays, failure to triage properly, or missed diagnoses in Accident & Emergency departments can cause life-threatening consequences.
Negligent Maternity Care in the NHS
Errors during pregnancy, labour, or delivery may result in birth injuries such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or stillbirth.
Sepsis Negligence
Failure to recognise and treat sepsis quickly in NHS hospitals or GP practices can lead to organ failure or death.
Medication Errors
Prescribing or administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or harmful drug interactions can have devastating effects.
Missed Referrals
When NHS GPs or hospital staff fail to refer patients to specialists or order urgent tests, serious conditions can go untreated.
What You Can Claim Compensation For
• Physical pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life
• Psychological harm and trauma
• Corrective medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
• Loss of income and reduced earning potential
• Care and assistance provided by family members
• Travel costs and other out-of-pocket expenses
• Funeral expenses and dependency claims in fatal cases
How Much Compensation Could You Receive?
The value of an NHS negligence claim depends on:
• Severity of the injury and long-term consequences
• Medical evidence and expert assessments
• Loss of earnings and career impact
• Future treatment and care requirements
• Effect on daily life and independence
Our solicitors use medical reports, financial documents, and Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate fair settlements that reflect the real 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.
