We all put our absolute trust in medical professionals but, if they fail to give the correct advice or medical procedures do not go to plan, you could be left to deal with the devastating consequences.
If you believe you have suffered because of the actions of a medical professional, such as a doctor, nurse, surgeon, dentist or physiotherapist, whether in private practice or the NHS, you could be eligible for compensation.
Our specialist lawyers can assist you in bringing a claim for clinical negligence, including in the following areas:
Medical Misdiagnosis
When you attend your GP or hospital with a health concern, you expect that appropriate investigations will be undertaken and an accurate prognosis will be given.
If the medical professional failed to properly investigate your condition resulting in a misdiagnosis and your condition has deteriorated as a result, our experienced lawyers may be able to help you make a claim.
Birth Negligence
The care you receive during pregnancy and childbirth is vital to the health of you and your baby.
If the standards fell below what was expected or a decision was made which resulted in ill-health, miscarriage or still-birth, our experienced lawyers may be able to help you.
We understand that speaking about your experience may be traumatic for you and we will approach the matter sensitively and with care.
Surgery Negligence
If you are required to undergo surgery, you expect a high degree of skill in the care you receive. If mistakes are made, there could be serious long-term consequences which may cause you additional pain and suffering.
If you believe there was a failure by a medical professional during your surgery, our specialist lawyers may be able to help you make a claim.
We will take the stress of the claim off your hands, while keeping you fully informed through every step. Should specialist advice or assistance be required from a barrister, our team can instruct experienced counsel to assist with your claim when appropriate.
In the event your claim cannot be settled and progresses to court, we will arrange for an experienced advocate, whether it be a solicitor or barrister, to attend all hearings with you and put all representations to the judge on your behalf.
Depending on the facts of your case, we may be able to run your claim on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis, which will take away any financial risk to you. If your claim is successful, our fees will be paid by your opponent and we will deduct a small percentage of your damages. If your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be required to pay our fees
There are strict time-limits in place to bring personal injury claims, and you should therefore contact us today for a no obligation discussion about your accident.
The effects of a personal injury can have a devastating impact on both you and your immediate family. It is for this reason we suggest you have a will in place to ensure that your loved ones are protected. View our wills and probate services here.
