What Is Medical Negligence?

Clinical negligence arises when a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other medical provider breaches their duty of care, leading to injury or an aggravation of an existing condition. Such claims are often complex, requiring thorough investigation, independent medical opinion, and robust legal support.
