Services
Medical Negligence Claims
We specialise in investigating healthcare errors that have caused harm or worsened medical conditions. Our solicitors assess cases involving misdiagnosis, treatment failures, and surgical errors. With over 400 years combined legal expertise, we help clients understand their rights and pursue compensation for pain, suffering, and financial losses.
Birth Injury Claims
Our specialist team handles cases where medical errors during childbirth caused lifelong injuries to mothers or babies. We work with medical experts to prove negligence and secure compensation for lifelong care needs. Trevor Ward, our Birth Injury Unit lead, has secured life-changing settlements for affected families.
NHS Negligence Claims
We represent clients harmed by substandard care in NHS facilities, from misdiagnosed cancers to surgical errors. Our solicitors understand the complexities of challenging public healthcare providers and negotiate settlements that cover rehabilitation costs, lost earnings, and future care requirements while maintaining professional accountability.
GP Negligence Claims
Our team investigates cases where general practitioners caused harm through diagnostic failures, medication errors, or delayed referrals. We obtain independent medical evidence to prove negligence and calculate compensation covering additional treatments, pain and suffering, and any resulting financial losses from preventable medical mistakes.
Surgical Negligence Claims
We handle cases involving surgical errors like retained instruments, wrong-site operations, and post-operative complications from inadequate care. Our solicitors work with medical experts to demonstrate how substandard surgical practices caused avoidable harm and negotiate compensation for corrective treatments and long-term rehabilitation needs.
