What Is a Medical Negligence Claim?
A medical negligence claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you have been harmed because a healthcare professional or medical organisation failed to provide proper care. Negligence can happen in NHS or private hospitals, GP practices, dental surgeries, opticians, care homes, or even during beauty treatments.
If you or a loved one suffered avoidable injury, illness, or complications, you may be entitled to compensation to help with recovery, loss of earnings, and long-term support.
Who Can Make a Medical Negligence Claim?
You may be able to claim if you were:
• A patient injured due to negligent treatment, delay, or misdiagnosis
• A parent making a claim for your child’s injury at birth or during care
• A relative bringing a fatal negligence claim after losing a loved one
• A representative for someone unable to claim themselves
Claims can be made against NHS Trusts, private hospitals, GPs, dentists, nurses, surgeons, midwives, opticians, care homes, and other healthcare professionals.

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.
