A & E medical negligence

Potential misdiagnosis and failure to treat

Accident and Emergency medicine involves a very wide spectrum of diagnosis and treatment.

The most common potential medical negligence associated with A & E treatment involve missed fractures, missed severed nerves or tendons and failures to diagnose very serious conditions such as a heart attack where a patient attends A & E with chest pains, is discharged without diagnosis and subsequently dies shortly after.

Other severe problems involve the failure to diagnose a head injury, causes of abdominal pain, severe infection or severe headache which can be due to a subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Children constitute 20% of the work of most A & E Departments and their diagnosis and treatment involves special skills that can be found wanting. Click on Children’s medical negligence claims to find out where we can help you.
