is when a medical or healthcare professional fails to provide treatment at the standard considered reasonable for their experience and specialism; they fail in their ‘duty of care’ – with life changing consequences for the patient. This is usually by doing something they shouldn’t have or not doing something they should have.
So, if you or a loved one believe you’ve come to serious harm at the hands of a surgeon, doctor, midwife, GP, optician or any other healthcare professional, you could be due compensation.
If you’ve suffered a serious injury or lost a loved one as a result of another person’s actions or negligence, our personal injury and medical negligence solicitors have the specialist expertise to get you the maximum amount of compensation you need to rebuild your life and regain your independence.
Your recovery, rehabilitation and quality of life are of the utmost importance to us.
