We have a long established reputation in this field and were one of the first firms in the North East to be awarded a Quality Mark by the Legal Services Commission for the provision of Legal Aid in this area of law. Medical Negligence claims are challenging and often stressful for clients. We understand the delicate nature of many of these claims and our specialist team treat every client with care and sympathy whilst using our established skills to achieve success in claims arising out of incorrect treatment, lack of proper care and unexpected side effects following medical treatment. We offer support for those claimants who wish to make a formal complaint through the NHS complaints procedure. We have always acted for Claimants and never Health Authorities or Insurance Companies.
We are members of the National Charity, Action Against Medical Accidents (AvMA) and have access to their substantial database of medical experts who can advise in connection with your claim. We have dealt with claims worth as little as a few hundred pounds to in excess of £5 million.
Examples of claims dealt with include:
Birth Injuries
Cerebral Palsy
Misdiagnosed cancer
Failed sterilisation
Misdiagnosed fractures
Nerve Injuries
Accident and emergency claims
Prescribing errors
Hip replacements
We are also able to offer representation at Inquests
