A&E Medical Negligence Claims with Sweeney Solicitors
Accident & Emergency (A&E) departments are high-pressure environments where medical
professionals frequently make split-second decisions that can significantly affect patient outcomes.

negligence can occur. At Sweeney Solicitors, we are deeply committed to supporting those affected
by medical negligence in A&E settings, ensuring their rights are upheld and justice is served.

   being treated promptly.
2. Misdiagnosis: Incorrectly assessing a patient’s condition, which can lead to inappropriate or
   delayed treatment.
3. Improper Treatment: Administering the wrong treatment or procedure.
4. Medication Errors: Incorrectly prescribing or administering drugs.
5. Discharge Errors: Discharging a patient prematurely or without adequate aftercare
   instructions.
