How does medical negligence compensation work?
If you have been the victim of a medical negligence injury, you are eligible for compensation. This can take several forms. You may receive general damages as compensation for pain and suffering. In addition, you can be compensated for ongoing problems such as the loss of any physical ability and future pain and discomfort. Other money may be awarded to replace any lost income as a direct result of the injury sustained, and money that will cover all of your medical expenses – care, treatment and any other associated expenses.
