Specialist expertise in non-surgical medical negligence

Medical treatment errors can happen outside the operating room, often with devastating effects. At Anthony Gold Solicitors, we focus on supporting clients through a wide range of non-surgical negligence claims, ensuring each case receives the attention and expertise it deserves.

Types of non-surgical claims we handle

Our team specialises in cases where non-surgical medical negligence has led to life-changing injuries. These often include:

  • Misdiagnosis & delayed diagnosis: When illnesses like cancer, infections, or other serious conditions are missed or misdiagnosed, patients lose critical time that can worsen outcomes. We help identify these failings and pursue compensation for the harm they’ve caused.

 

  • Medication & prescription errors: Mistakes in prescribing or administering medication can result in serious side effects, allergic reactions, or ineffective treatment. Our team works to hold medical professionals accountable for these often-overlooked errors.

 

  • Birth & maternal injuries: Non-surgical errors during childbirth, such as poor monitoring or incorrect decisions, can have lifelong consequences. We support families affected by birth injuries, including cerebral palsy and hypoxia.
  • Emergency & intensive care mistakes: Errors in emergency medicine or critical care, from misjudging a patient’s condition to failing to act swiftly, can lead to severe complications. Our experience in these complex cases ensures we can present the strongest case for compensation.

Non-surgical medical treatment claims: FAQs

What qualifies as a non-surgical medical negligence claim?

A non-surgical medical negligence claim arises when a healthcare professional’s actions—or lack thereof—cause harm to a patient outside of surgical settings. This can include situations where a misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, or incorrect treatment leads to significant injury, unnecessary suffering, or worsened medical outcomes. For a claim to qualify, there must typically be evidence that the standard of care fell below what is reasonably expected, directly resulting in harm.

What is the difference between a surgical and non-surgical medical negligence claim?

A surgical negligence claim involves mistakes during or directly related to surgery, while a non-surgical claim covers errors outside the operating room, like misdiagnoses or medication errors. Both require proof that the care provided fell below reasonable standards and caused harm.

What types of non-surgical errors can lead to compensation?

Non-surgical errors that can result in compensation include misdiagnoses, delayed diagnoses of serious conditions (such as cancer), medication errors, improper treatment plans, and inadequate monitoring or follow-up care. Additionally, mistakes in emergency or intensive care settings and birth-related injuries, like those causing cerebral palsy, may also warrant a claim. Each of these errors can have severe impacts on health, and our team works to ensure that those affected receive the support and compensation they deserve.

Are birth injuries considered part of non-surgical negligence?

Yes, birth injuries can fall under non-surgical negligence, especially when caused by poor monitoring or mismanagement during labour. Such cases often lead to serious, lasting effects, and our team supports families in seeking compensation.

Can I make a claim for a delayed diagnosis that worsened my condition?

Yes, if a delayed diagnosis worsened your condition, you may be eligible to claim. We help clients pursue compensation for missed treatment opportunities, especially in cases where early diagnosis is crucial, such as with cancer.
