The loss of all or part of a limb can have devastating effects on you and your daily life. If you have undergone an amputation as a result of medical negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by a doctor, surgeon, or other healthcare practitioner, you may be entitled to compensation.

Birth Injury Claims

Injuries arising out of childbirth can be significant and if your child has been injured during or after birth, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims

Everyone knows that early, and prompt, diagnosis and treatment of cancer gives a patient the best chance of survival. However, doctors or other medical professionals sometimes make mistakes and may diagnose your symptoms too late. This can result in your cancer spreading, making it more difficult to treat and can result in a reduced prognosis and life expectancy

Dental Negligence Claims

Injuries arising out of dental treatment can be significant and extremely painful. If an injury is suffered as a result of dental negligence, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Fatal Claims

If a friend or family member has died because of negligent medical care, treatment or procedure, we understand it will be an extremely difficult time for you but we are here to help you find out what happened and try to obtain compensation on behalf of your loved one.

GP Negligence Claims

Your GP, or GP practice, is often the first place you go to when you have a medical problem. For example GPs are responsible for considering potential diagnoses, treating your symptoms (where possible), and/or arranging and referring you for tests, specialist care and appropriate treatments. There are multiple opportunities for things to go wrong, or mistakes to be made which can result in all sorts of injuries ranging from minor to severe.

Nursing and Care Homes Claims

The care provided by nurses, either in hospital or at home in the community, and the care provided in a care home environment is wide ranging and there is a huge scope for things to go wrong and for mistakes to occur. If you have suffered an injury as a result of nursing negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by a nurse or other healthcare practitioner whilst primarily under the care of a nursing team, you may be entitled to compensation.

Eye Injury (Ophthalmic) Claims

Sight is often considered to be one of the most important senses we have and, when it is affected, reduced, or lost altogether, this has a major impact on a person’s everyday life. Injuries arising out of negligent ophthalmic treatment can therefore be significant and you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Obstetric and Gynaecological Claims

Obstetricians and Gynaecologists are not only involved in the care of pregnant women, labour and childbirth, but also provide care and treatment to women for a range of other symptoms and conditions. Mistakes can occur at any time and, if you have suffered injury as a result of medical negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by an obstetrician or gynaecologist, you may be entitled to compensation.

Orthopaedic Claims

Orthopaedic care covers a range of conditions and treatments involving bones, joints, ligaments and tendons, to name a few. Mistakes can occur at any time and, if you have suffered injury as a result of medical negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by a doctor, surgeon, or other healthcare practitioner, you may be entitled to compensation.

Pregnancy and Birth Injury to Mother Claims

During pregnancy, an expectant mother is treated by a range of practitioners they may not have come across before such as gynaecologists and midwives. Everyone deserves the best care during their pregnancies and labour but, sometimes mistakes occur, and injuries can happen. If you have suffered an injury as a result of negligence during your pregnancy or labour, you may be entitled to compensation.

Sepsis and Meningitis Claims

Sepsis is a disease, sometimes known as septicaemia or blood poisoning. Meningitis is a disease which causes inflammation of the membranes in your brain. Both are potentially life-threatening conditions. Due to their potential severity, it is crucial that sepsis and meningitis are diagnosed and treated as early as possible. If you suffered from sepsis or meningitis and feel it was misdiagnosed or there was a delay in diagnosis/treatment, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Spinal Injury Claims

Spinal injuries can develop very quickly and have devastating effects on a patient’s life and that of their family and friends. If you have suffered a spinal injury as a result of medical negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by a doctor, surgeon, or other healthcare practitioner, you may be entitled to compensation.

Surgical Negligence Claims

Operations should always be performed to an appropriate standard of care and surgical technique. However, mistakes can happen during any operation and can cause you unnecessary pain and suffering. If you have suffered an injury as a result of surgical negligence i.e. because of a mistake made by a doctor, surgeon, or other healthcare practitioner, you may be entitled to compensation.
