Medical Negligence Claims in Salisbury We Handle

If you think you may be entitled to a claim for medical negligence and wish to sue the NHS or make claims against a private healthcare professional, our medical negligence solicitors can help. Here are some of the claims we handle:

Hospital Negligence:-

Visiting a hospital for an illness is a routine experience and you expect to feel better afterwards. Usually, the quality of care you receive at a hospital is great and hospital professionals treat you the way you deserve to set you on the path to recovery. Unfortunately, there are times when hospital visits do not go to plan. When this happens, the impact can be devastating, often causing the victim life-changing injuries. If you have been a victim of hospital negligence, our specialist medical negligence solicitors in Salisbury can help you make a claim for medical negligence.

Care Home Negligence Claims:-

Under the UK medical negligence law, care homes owe their residents a duty of care to ensure their safety and comfort. Usually, they are cared for with respect, kindness and under the best conditions. Unfortunately, there are times when they fail in this regard as a result of poor practices; the outcome can be devastating, especially as care home residents are typically vulnerable older people. The effects of care home negligence can lead to serious, long-term injuries or even death.

If you or a loved one have been a victim of care home or nursing home neglect, In Salisbury our medical negligence solicitors can help you seek the compensation you deserve.

Cosmetic Surgery Negligence Claims:-

In the last decade, the demand for cosmetic surgery has been massive, with more and more persons electing to undergo procedures with private hospitals and clinics. However, while every surgical procedure comes with a degree of risk, the surgeon must take the patient’s medical history into account. Lax industry regulations in the cosmetic and beauty industry means that poorly qualified surgeons – who are either incompetent or negligent – can conduct bad surgeries.

If you have been a victim of cosmetic surgery negligence and suffered physical, emotional or financial pain as a result, our medical negligence solicitors in Salisbury can help.

Birth Injury Negligence Claims:-

During childbirth, it is expected that the mother and child receive the best possible care to ensure their health and safety. When doctors or midwives fail to meet these standards, there Cosmetics ay be life-changing or even fatal injuries.

If your child or loved one has been a victim of birth injury negligence, our medical negligence experts in Salisbury can help you make a claim.

NHS Negligence:-

Making Compensation Claims for Medical Negligence in Salisbury

If you think your medical professional or institution has acted negligently, contact us today for a free, no obligation advice with one of our specialist medical negligence solicitors in Salisbury.

When you contact us, we will arrange for a meeting with one of our expert advisors to talk to you about the specific details of your situation.

How Long Will My Medical Negligence Claim Take?

There is a statutory three-year time limit for making medical negligence claims. However, there is not specific processing time for medical negligence claims.

Generally, the more complex an injury is, the longer the claims process will take. For instance, while a cosmetic claim due to minor scarring can be concluded within a year, brain damage claims can last several years.

Another factor that can affect the amount of time taken for a claim is whether the other party accepts or denies liability. In more than 98% of NHS negligence claims, an agreement is reached out of court; in cases where the other party does not accept liability or a fair compensation amount cannot be agreed upon, the case may take longer to resolve.

In any case, you can trust that Medical Negligence Direct will support you throughout the duration of your case – even if it goes to trial. Armed with your medical reports and supporting evidence, our medical negligence solicitors will build a robust claim on your behalf in Salisbury. The opinion of an independent medical expert may also be required to strengthen your case; our solicitors can make arrangements for this.

Can I Make Medical Negligence Claims on Behalf of Someone Else in Salisbury?

Yes. You can make compensation claims on behalf of a medical negligence victim if they are under 18 years of age or they lack the mental capacity to make a claim on their own.

Making claims on behalf of a third party is usually more common in birth injury claims involving babies. Seeking compensation can provide the financial support the child needs to be as healthy and comfortable as possible.

You can also make claims on behalf of someone who has died.

While compensation will not restore the life of your loved one, it can ensure there is no repeat of the same unfortunate events in future. Compensation also provides legal recognition of the pain and suffering your loved one endured while they were alive.
