Medical Negligence Claims Scotland

To prove medical negligence in Scotland, you must show:

Duty of Care:

In Scottish healthcare, every medical practitioner—whether a doctor, nurse, or dentist—is bound by a commitment to deliver care that aligns with established norms of their profession. This commitment ensures that patients are shielded from harm and receive a standard of care that mirrors what any competent professional in that field would provide.

Breach of Duty:

A lapse or deviation from this established standard signifies a breach of duty. Such a breach might manifest as an incorrect diagnosis, delay in diagnosis, administering the wrong treatment, or even omitting a vital procedure. Simply put, it’s when a healthcare provider doesn’t uphold the expected standard, potentially putting a patient at risk.

Cause:

In Scottish clinical negligence, cause’ refers to the direct link between the breach of duty and an adverse outcome. The patient must demonstrate that the incorrect action or omission by the medical professional was the clear catalyst for their injury or worsened condition using evidence such as medical reports.

Harm:

Harm is the tangible suffering or loss experienced by the patient as a result of medical negligence. This could be physical pain, mental trauma, extra medical expenses, or even loss of income. The negative impact wouldn’t have occurred if the healthcare provider had upheld the expected standard of care. Remember, evidence is critical. Consulting with a solicitor can help ensure you present the strongest case possible.
