§ 02 · CLAIMS REGISTRY
Browse the registry — from surgical errors to birth injuries — or describe your situation in your own words above and let the assessment identify the right claim type for you.
Wrong-site surgery, retained instruments, nerve damage, and other surgical mistakes causing patient harm.
Brain damage from oxygen deprivation during labour and delivery, causing lifelong disability requiring round-the-clock care.
Missed or delayed diagnosis of cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and other serious conditions leading to worse outcomes.
Brachial plexus nerve damage from excessive force during shoulder dystocia, causing permanent arm weakness or paralysis.
Negligent treatment by general practitioners including failure to refer, prescribing errors, and missed symptoms in primary care.
Injuries to mothers during childbirth including severe tears, haemorrhage, failed sterilisation, and pre-eclampsia mismanagement.
Botched dental treatments, nerve damage from procedures, unnecessary extractions, and infections from poor dental care.
Claims arising from preventable stillbirths and newborn deaths caused by failures in monitoring and delivery management.
Negligent cosmetic procedures including botched breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction, and non-surgical treatments.
Injuries to newborn babies in the first days of life — untreated hypoglycaemia, jaundice, Group B strep and failures of resuscitation causing brain damage.
When warning signs of sepsis are missed or treatment is delayed, allowing an overwhelming infection to cause life-changing harm or death.
A spinal emergency where nerve compression is missed or treated too late, leading to paralysis, incontinence and other devastating, often permanent injuries.
Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism that should have been prevented with anticoagulants, or diagnosed when symptoms and tests pointed to a clot.
Serious conditions missed in the emergency department — patients sent home with undiagnosed heart attacks, strokes, sepsis, fractures and more.
When cancer symptoms or abnormal test results are not referred or acted on, and the delay allows the cancer to advance and worsen the outlook.
Missed or misread fractures and mismanaged bone and joint infections — including infections allowed to progress until amputation became necessary.
Compartment syndrome and abdominal aortic aneurysms that were missed or treated too late, causing loss of limb, brain injury or death.
Missed heart conditions — valve disease, arrhythmias, unstable angina and endocarditis — leading to avoidable heart attacks, cardiac arrest or heart failure.
Missed bleeds on the brain and spinal cord — including haematomas linked to anticoagulant errors — causing avoidable brain damage or paralysis.
Catheter injuries to the urethra and failures to catheterise patients in urinary retention, causing permanent bladder and urinary damage.
Intubation failures causing brain injury or aspiration, and anaesthetic failures leaving patients aware and in pain during surgery — including caesareans.
Claims for families who have lost a loved one to medical negligence — bereavement damages, dependency claims and support through the inquest.
Published judgments from BAILII, the High Court and County Court bulletins, indexed by claim type, region and award.
Annual breakdown of NHS clinical negligence claims, payouts and provision figures — currently £12.4B in outstanding liabilities.
Standardised compensation bands for general damages — pain, suffering, loss of amenity — across all injury categories.
