Medical Negligence Claims
Medical treatment in the UK, whether it is on the NHS or in private practice is, on the whole, amongst the best in the world. However, people make mistakes. It is human nature. Healthcare professionals, whether they are doctors, nurses or midwives, are no different. Unfortunately, when mistakes are made, the consequences can be very serious.
If you believe a mistake has been made in the treatment you or a loved one has received, or you are concerned at the quality of treatment provided, it is important to get expert legal advice as soon as possible.
We offer a free initial consultation to discuss a potential claim for medical negligence. We will discuss with you what steps are necessary to investigate the treatment received and advise you on whether you have a claim for compensation.
We recognise that bringing a claim for medical negligence is likely to involve discussing private issues. That is why our solicitors will deal with your claim sensitively and compassionately, whilst providing clear and practical legal advice.
A range of funding options may be available to you. We are able to offer a No Win No Fee in the right circumstances and can arrange an After the Event Insurance policy to protect you in the event that your claim is unsuccessful.
We are able to advise on:
- Missed fracture or other orthopaedic claims;
- Missed cancer diagnosis claims;
- Birth injury claims;
- Claims against your GP;
- Wrongful/delay in diagnosis claims;
- Pressure sores;
- Surgical mistakes.
