Frequently Asked Questions about Medical Negligence in Lanzarote (according to Spanish law)
What is considered medical negligence?
An incorrect medical action that causes harm to the patient, such as a delayed diagnosis, a surgical error, or inadequate follow-up care.
How do I know if I’ve been a victim of medical negligence?
If you suffered harm that could have been avoided with proper medical care, there may be negligence. We review your case and advise you with no obligation.
Can I make a claim if the negligence happened in a public hospital?
Yes. You can claim against the Health Administration through administrative and judicial channels. We help you start the process correctly.
Can I also claim if the negligence occurred in a private clinic?
Yes. In private clinics, claims are usually made through civil proceedings against the professional or the clinic’s insurer. Each case requires a tailored strategy.
Do I need a medical expert report to make a claim?
Yes. It is essential to prove that there was negligent action and that it caused harm. We work with highly regarded experts specialised in these cases.
What type of compensation can be obtained?
You can claim for physical harm, lasting injuries, medical expenses, or loss of income. Each case is assessed individually.
How much time do I have to file a medical negligence claim?
It depends on whether the centre is public or private, but generally, the deadline is one year from when the harm became known. The sooner you act, the better.
How much does it cost to start a medical negligence claim?
At ABOGADAS LANCELOT, we work with clear and transparent fees. We assess the viability of your case before taking any action.
Do I have to go to court, or are there other options?
We always try to resolve matters amicably or through administrative channels first. If that’s not possible, we take the case to court with all the necessary resources to defend you.
Do I need a solicitor to make a medical negligence claim?
