Given that this area of law can be complex and requires a specialist lawyer, what’s the best way to 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!
In the same way that people can recover compensation for medical negligence, you could also be entitled to make a cosmetic surgery compensation claim if that’s how you’ve suffered.
Private healthcare organisations have the same duty of care that public ones like the NHS does. At the same time, if cosmetic procedures go wrong with the NHS, their usual duty of care also applies.
If you have undergone a cosmetic procedure and something has gone wrong with any part of the process, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation. We may be able to represent you for a case on a No Win, No Fee basis.

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.
The subject of childbirth brain injuries isn’t something that many people really want to have to discuss or address, given how traumatic it can be.

Winter is here, and we are potentially facing a rather cold one. The extra strain that the NHS will face is likely on its way if it’s not already here, and we may see bed shortages and longer waits in A&E. Whilst we know that it’s for the government to ensure that we have a fully functioning and properly funded healthcare service, patients cannot be allowed to suffer in silence.
When patients do suffer, lives can be turned upside down. And that’s where we come in.
What is being called the “largest maternity scandal in NHS history” involving the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SATH) has hit the headlines this week.
We’re shocked and appalled by what we have seen, which appears to be a period of 40 years of negligent care and treatment that may involve as many as 600 cases of medical negligence. Leaked reports appear to have singled out at least 42 infant deaths and the deaths of three mothers, as well as outlining more than 50 cases of children being left with brain damage.
It appears that there has been substandard care across the board which may have resulted in dozens of deaths and cases of children being left with permanent and catastrophic injuries.

It’s possible to be able to make a claim for compensation for a cancelled operation, and this can be something that we’re able to offer No Win, No Fee representation for.
Whether you can claim or not often depends on a number of factors as to why the procedure was cancelled, as well as the priority of the procedure, and if you have suffered.
When it comes to making a claim for medical negligence compensation, we must typically show that negligence has occurred, and that the negligence has caused suffering. It isn’t always the case that a a cancelled procedure stems from negligence, so we must assess each case on its own individual merits.
