Medical negligence in Bristol: The local stats

Medical negligence happens more often than you might think, and Bristol is no exception. Here’s what the numbers say about claims in our city:

  • Claims against local trusts: NHS Resolution data (2023/24) shows 13,784 new clinical negligence claims UK-wide, with Bristol trusts like University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust facing their share. In 2017/18 alone, this trust paid out £10.9 million in damages across 105 settled claims .
  • Birth injury cases: Bristol’s Royal Infirmary has faced high-profile cases, like a £22,500 pay-out for a brain injury during birth, reflecting the 12.8% of UK claims tied to obstetrics (NHS Resolution, 2023/24).
  • Pay-out scale: Nationally, 52% of claims result in damages, with Bristol seeing pay-outs from £1,000 for minor errors to millions for severe cases, such as a £37 million settlement for a lifelong disability.

These stats hit home for Bristol. If you’ve been let down by a healthcare provider here, we’re ready to turn those numbers into action for you.

What counts as medical negligence?

You might have a claim if you’ve been harmed by:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis (e.g., missed cancer at Cossham Hospital)
  • Surgical errors (e.g., mistakes at Bristol Royal Infirmary)
  • Birth injuries (e.g., cerebral palsy from negligence at St Michael’s Hospital)
  • Medication mix-ups (e.g., wrong prescriptions from a GP in Fishponds)
  • Neglect in care (e.g., untreated conditions at South Bristol Community Hospital)

If a healthcare professional’s mistake caused you injury, we’ll investigate, whether it’s an NHS trust or a private practice like Spire Bristol.
