Paediatric Mismanagement Compensation Claims Specialists

Unfortunately, hospitals are neither as safe nor as clean as we would all like them to be.

Surgical procedures are often very complicated, and treatments can be highly technical and complex.

Many treatments carry some level of risk, and most patients are warned of these risks before surgery.

However, sadly mistakes are made by many medical professionals, resulting in pain, heartache and frustration for victims and their families alike.

Paediatrics is the area of medicine which specialises in the treatment of illness in Children.

Children can have illnesses that are not necessarily found in adults, including:

Congenital and inherited diseases
Infectious childhood diseases

Paediatric mismanagement involves the mismanagement of an injury to a child. There can also be complex issues involving consent and legal responsibility that may not arise in adult medicine. Consequently, clinical negligence cases involving children can be diverse and complex.
