9780471966425: The Medical Accidents Handbook: A Practical Guide for Patients and Their Advisers

Synopsis

Medical accidents and the law is a topical subject as the number of claims and size of settlement amounts are growing consistently. There is evidence that patients are increasingly aware of their rights and are more willing to seek legal advice. As a result, the NHS has become more defensive and increasingly concerned with clinical risk assessment. This is a handbook which deals with medical negligence claims aimed at the non-specialist practitioner or adviser. In addition to analyzing the stages of a claim from discovery to quantum, it provides advice on the alternatives to litigation, a guide to the complaints procedure, and assistance in identifying defendants in the complex internal market of the NHS.
