Medical Negligence​

KCA assist in a large number of cases involving medical negligence claims

KCA assist in a large number of cases involving medical negligence claims, requiring an assessment into loss of career prospects and earnings due to misdiagnosis of an illness; non-treatment of physical or psychiatric conditions; adverse surgical procedures, amongst others, ensuring to isolate and identify the specific effect of an injury or injuries arising from an alleged medical negligence claim on a Claimant’s employment prospects and earnings.

KCA has recently produced a number of reports (in the order of 80) for the Irish Court in response to claims arising out of Plaintiff’s developing narcolepsy and cataplexy from the Pandemrix swine flu vaccination. Keith Carter also provided expert witness for the Infected Blood Inquiry in response to call from Sir Brian Langstaff.

KCA works for Claimants, Defendants and on a joint expert basis for medical negligence claims. For adults, an analysis would be required of their education, career and earnings, and training prior to the injury. In medical negligence cases involving children, for instance an injury at birth, a life-long career forecast would be made.
