How do you prove your medical negligence claim?

There is evidence that we can obtain that is often seen as the ‘standard’ for this type of case. We can also use witness evidence from you which can help when a claim, especially when a claim is being disputed. This kind of evidence can be used to prove that you’re entitled to compensation and can  be used to value your case as well.

There’s also the need to make sure that you get a good lawyer on board. This can be the difference between succeeding with a case or losing out on thousands of pounds in compensation!

Worrying revelations from Ian Paterson inquiry

The revelations from the recently published report following the Ian Paterson inquiry has revealed that more than 1,000 patients suffered needless operations.

The report also recommends that perhaps all 11,000 of his patients are recalled to identify if the number of victims is greater. The report has also criticised the NHS and the hospitals he has worked at, citing that there was a “culture of avoidance and denial” and “wilful blindness”  to his actions.

As specialist medical negligence lawyers, we often see the horrors patients go through when something goes wrong. But this is a very different case that involves a rogue surgeon who has deliberately harmed and violated the patients he was charged with caring for.
