Medical negligence in devon: The facts

Medical negligence claims reflect the challenges faced by patients when healthcare falls short. While specific Devon statistics are limited, the following UK-wide and regional insights highlight the issue:

  • In 2023/24, the NHS received 13,784 new clinical negligence claims across England, with emergency medicine and obstetrics among the top categories. Devon’s hospitals, like Royal Devon and Exeter, contribute to these figures.
  • Nationally, 81% of claims in 2023/24 were settled without court proceedings, showing a trend towards faster resolutions, which benefits Devon claimants.
  • Obstetrics claims, including birth injuries, accounted for 13% of claims but 57% of the total payout value in 2023/24, with cases in Devon often involving maternity care issues at hospitals like Derriford in Plymouth.

These statistics underscore the prevalence of medical negligence and the importance of expert legal support. Marley Solicitors has a strong track record of helping Devon residents secure compensation for their suffering.
