Non-Fatal Medical Negligence: What Can You Claim For?

When medical treatment falls below an acceptable standard and causes harm, compensation can play an important role in helping an injured person rebuild their life.

Many people are unaware that compensation is not intended to punish the healthcare provider. Instead, its purpose is to place the injured person, as far as money can, in the position they would have been in had the negligence not occurred.

Krishna Kotecha’s blog explains:

✅ The purpose of compensation in non-fatal medical negligence claims
✅ The difference between General Damages and Special Damages
✅ How compensation for pain, suffering and loss of quality of life is assessed
✅ Claims for financial losses, including lost earnings and care costs
✅ Future treatment, rehabilitation and accommodation needs
✅ The importance of evidence in supporting a claim

Every clinical negligence case is unique, and the value of a claim depends on the individual impact of the injury and the losses arising from it.

It was great to catch up with Claire Thornber from Cauda Equina Champions Charity over lunch.

We had a really insightful conversation and learned more about the charity’s “Light Up Purple for Cauda Equina Syndrome” campaign and the important message behind it.

It was fantastic to hear more about how the campaign will raise further awareness and supports for those affected by Cauda Equina Syndrome.

We are looking forward to supporting the campaign and helping to shine a purple light on CES awareness. 💜

A long-overdue reform could finally see unmarried fathers become eligible for bereavement damages following the negligent death of a child.

The Government has acknowledged that the current law no longer reflects modern family life and has committed to changing the rules. While this represents an important step towards equality, many believe wider reform is still needed to ensure bereavement compensation properly recognises the impact of losing a loved one through clinical negligence.

Read our latest article by Alpa Rana, Legal Director which examines the proposed changes, the historical position, and what this means for bereaved families. https://moosaduke.com/news-insights/long-awaited-reform-of-bereavement-damages-for-unmarried-fathers

NHS Resolution’s latest Annual Report and Accounts provides more than just a set of financial figures. It offers an important insight into where patients continue to experience avoidable harm, the challenges facing the NHS, and the opportunities to improve patient safety.

The report highlights the ongoing significance of clinical negligence claims, with maternity claims continuing to represent a substantial proportion of NHS liabilities due to the lifelong impact that serious birth injuries can have on children and their families.

Behind every statistic is a person, a family and a life changed.

Medical negligence claims are not simply about compensation. They are often about understanding what happened, obtaining answers, ensuring accountability and securing the support needed to rebuild lives after avoidable injury.

The report also reinforces the importance of learning from adverse events. Reducing the cost of medical negligence must start with reducing the number of patients who experience avoidable harm.

At Moosa-Duke Solicitors, we believe that patient voices matter. By listening to those who have been harmed and understanding where systems have failed, we can help support meaningful improvements in healthcare for future patients.

“Cauda Equina Syndrome is a condition that is often not recognised or treated promptly. In this case, as is often seen, the delay in diagnosis and undergoing emergency surgery led to life changing injuries. I hope that lessons will be learned to prevent similar failures from occurring in the future.”
