Medical negligence for missed dislocation
Claims for medical negligence for missed dislocation injuries can easily occur and they can leave a patient suffering from lifelong problems in the worst-case scenarios.
It’s incredibly important for dislocation injuries to be quickly identified so that the correct course of treatment can be put in place. If treatment, such as vital surgery, doesn’t take place quickly enough, some damage can be irreversible. We have represented clients where this kind of negligence has taken place, and compensation values can be substantial.
If this has happened to you and you think you may be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation, we may be able to help you. Read on for more advice and information.

Surgery compensation claims are a common type of medical negligence claim that we take forward, and we understand that the harm victims can suffer from can be severe.
When a mistake takes place during surgery, it can be a worrying thing to have to deal with. What will happen next? Will there be more complications? Will more surgery be needed? Not only is there the worry that’s caused, but any additional suffering patients endure isn’t nice to have to experience.
If you have been the victim of negligent surgery, you can be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis. Here’s how we may be able to help you.
Birth negligence compensation claims
The subject of birth negligence compensation claims is a sensitive one, of course. That being said, it’s an important one for us to discuss and advise on given that it can affect the lives of victims forever.
As a firm, when it comes to personal injury claims, we specifically focus on catastrophic compensation cases. Birth injury compensation claims is a part of this type of legal case, and it’s something that we can offer bespoke No Win, No Fee agreements for.

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.
Childbirth brain injuries advice
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.
However, given the impact that this kind of injury can have on the patient for the rest of their life, it’s important for victims and their families to understand their legal rights.
There is a process that allows for a pathway to justice, and it’s about achieving the best that we can when considering the circumstances. We can’t turn back the clock but, as specialist medical negligence lawyers that focus on serious and catastrophic injury cases, there is a great deal that we can do.
Compensation for waiting for A&E care
You may be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation if you have suffered as a result of waiting for A&E care.
As we often say when it comes to these kinds of legal cases, whether there’s a claim to settle or not is simply a matter of the details which we look at on a case-by-case basis. Some delays cannot be avoided, and some delays don’t cause any kind of suffering at all or may only cause minimal suffering.
As specialist medical negligence lawyers, we can offer our advice and a claims assessment on a completely free and no-obligation basis.
Compensation for waiting for an ambulance
It’s possible to be able to make a claim for medical negligence compensation that arises from waiting for an ambulance where this has led to suffering and loss.
This is an important topic to cover, especially when we’re facing longer waits across the NHS in general. Although needing to wait for emergency transport in itself doesn’t mean you’re entitled to receive compensation, there are times when a case can be made. In such times, a case may be vital as some form of justice for the patient, especially when severe injury and losses have occurred.
We may be able to offer No Win, No Fee representation for cases of this nature. Patients must be allowed some form of justice for what they have to go through.
NHS bed shortages and compensation
At this time of the year, we do need to discuss the issues surrounding bed shortages and compensation within the NHS.
We always seem to be set for “one of the coldest winters on record”, but whether that’s true or not, this is the time of the year when demand for the NHS usually rises. With the increased demand comes the issue of shortages across the board. When it comes to beds, this can be problematic in some cases.
We expect some delays when demand is higher, but that doesn’t mean patients should suffer anything that can be serious. If that happens, that’s when we may need to assess the situation to see what can be done about it.
