Loss of eyesight compensation through medical negligence
A loss of eyesight compensation claim is often a high value case that’s dealt with by our specialist catastrophic injury team here at the Medical Negligence Lawyers.
Compensation pay-outs can be significant, and they will usually need to cover not only the suffering and inconvenience of losing your eyesight, but also for losses and expenses. If you can no longer work due to the loss of vision, the lost earnings claim can be substantial.
Here’s a little advice about when you may be eligible to make a claim for medical negligence compensation for losing your vision, and what to do.
Medical negligence claims for children
Medical negligence claims for children is never a nice thing to think about, but when a child has suffered due to an error, action for justice can be important.
It’s possible to bring a claim for medical negligence compensation for a child. Generally speaking, in England and Wales, persons under the age of 18 are unable to bring claims themselves. They can either wait until their 18th birthday to bring a claim, or someone can initiate a case on their behalf.
Realistically, it’s better to make a claim sooner rather than later, so the second option should be the one to go for. Here’s a little advice about how you can bring a claim on behalf of a child.
Pelvic mesh removal problems legal advice
Pelvic mesh removal problems can be horrendous, and patients can be left with severe and lifelong complications when things go wrong.
Pelvic mesh is intended to be permanent. As such, it isn’t intended to be removed or altered at a later date, and that’s why mesh removal issues can be so problematic. When things do go wrong, and mesh removal is the only way to resolve the problems the patient is having, it can be impossible to achieve.
This leaves patients with damaged or migrated mesh still inside them, and even partially removed mesh in some cases. If this has happened to you, here’s what we can do for you.

What to do when you receive cancer treatment too late
Receiving vital, life-saving cancer treatment too late really can mean the difference between life and death, and it can be devastating when patients aren’t provided with care quickly enough.
That’s why we’re incredibly alarmed to hear the recent news that the NHS is seeing some of the worst figures on record when it comes to treatment times for cancer. Recent figures indicate that a quarter of patients aren’t receiving treatment in accordance with the targets set by the NHS. A lot of this may well be down to the increased pressure of more people coming forward for checks, and a lack of funding for cancer care across the board isn’t helping as well.
As a patient who has cancer treatment too late, what can you do, and what are your rights?
