Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments are often the first port of call when someone suffers a sudden illness or injury. While most NHS staff work tirelessly under extreme pressure, mistakes in A&E do happen—and when they do, the consequences can be devastating.
What is A&E Negligence?
A&E negligence occurs when a healthcare professional fails to meet the required standard of care, causing you injury or making your condition worse. Mistakes made in emergency settings can lead to serious long-term harm, loss of earnings, or even the need for ongoing treatment or care.
Common Types of A&E Negligence Claims:
We regularly act for clients who have experienced:
- Missed or incorrect diagnosis (e.g. fractures, infections, internal bleeding)
- Delayed treatment leading to complications or worsening conditions
- Failure to carry out necessary scans, tests, or referrals
- Medication errors, including incorrect drug prescriptions or dosages
- Being discharged prematurely without proper assessment
- Injuries sustained due to poor manual handling or falls in hospital care
Case Study
We acted for a client who attended A&E with severe abdominal pain. Despite clear signs of appendicitis, they were sent home without tests. Hours later, their appendix ruptured, leading to emergency surgery and permanent complications. We secured a five-figure compensation settlement to help support their recovery and financial loss.
