When you walk into A&E, you expect urgency, competence, and care. But when mistakes happen in Accident & Emergency departments, the consequences can be devastating. Misdiagnosis. Delayed treatment. Discharged too early. These aren’t just oversights, they can cost lives, limbs, or long-term health.
At Marley Solicitors, we hold NHS and private hospitals accountable when A&E standards fall dangerously short.
What is A&E medical negligence?
A&E medical negligence occurs when doctors, nurses, or medical staff in emergency departments fail to meet their duty of care – and you suffer because of it. This isn’t about human error in high-pressure situations. It’s about failures that should never have happened.
Common examples:
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose (e.g., heart attacks, strokes, sepsis)
- Delays in treatment leading to worsening conditions
- Inadequate investigations (missed fractures, internal bleeding)
- Incorrect discharge without proper checks
- Medication errors
- Failure to refer for specialist care
How do i know if i have a claim?
If you’ve been left worse off after visiting A&E, and it was due to poor medical care, not just bad luck, you may have a case.
Ask yourself:
- Was my condition misdiagnosed or dismissed?
- Did I suffer avoidable complications?
- Did I need further treatment that could’ve been prevented?
- Was I discharged too soon?
If the answer is yes to any of these, speak to us. We’ll give it to you straight.
