Medical negligence claim statistics for Oxfordshire

Medical negligence claims are a critical avenue for Oxfordshire residents seeking redress for harm caused by substandard healthcare. While specific local data is limited, regional and national statistics provide insight into the prevalence and impact of these claims:

• Claim volume: In 1998, Oxfordshire Health Authority, serving a population of 610,000, reported a litigation rate of 29 paid claims per 1,000 finished consultant episodes, with a mean payment of £18,092per claim, indicating a steady incidence of claims in the region (The BMJ, 2000).
• National trends: In 2023/24, the NHS received 13,784 new clinical negligence claims across England, with 52% resulting in damages, costing £2.8 billion in payouts and legal fees. Oxfordshire contributes to this trend, particularly in high-value claims like maternity cases (Blackwater Law, 2024).
• Maternity claims: Nationally, maternity-related claims accounted for 41% of clinical negligence payments in 2023/24, with Oxfordshire’s John Radcliffe Hospital, a major maternity centre, likely reflecting similar issues in cases of birth injuries or cerebral palsy.

These statistics highlight the importance of expert legal support to navigate medical negligence claims and secure fair compensation for the harm suffered.

How we can help Oxfordshire residents

Marley Solicitors supports residents across Oxfordshire, including those in popular postcodes such as OX1, OX2, OX3, OX4, OX5, OX7, OX9, OX11, and OX14. Whether you’ve experienced a misdiagnosis in Chipping Norton, a surgical error in Didcot, or delayed treatment in Wallingford, we have the expertise to handle your claim. We represent clients for a range of medical negligence issues, including:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis leading to worsened conditions.
• Surgical errors, such as mistakes during operations or anaesthesia.
• Birth injuries, including cerebral palsy or maternal harm.
• Prescription errors or incorrect medication dosages.
• Failure to refer for specialist treatment or inadequate follow-up care.

Our goal is to secure compensation for general damages (pain, suffering, and loss of amenity) and special damages (medical costs, loss of earnings, rehabilitation, and care). We work with medical experts to build a robust case, following the Pre-Action Protocol for Clinical Negligence Claims, and pursue settlements through negotiation, mediation, or court action if necessary.
