Have you been injured by defective equipment or products used in medical procedures? If so, you might have a claim for medical negligence.
When it comes to medical devices and equipment, we rely on manufacturers to produce a product that is safe to use and will last over time. There are rigid tests and standards in place, but errors can happen.
A recent example of that is Oculentis, who manufactured defective lenses used in eye surgery to correct cataracts and other sight defects. A number of patients began experiencing blind patches in their sight since having their lenses replaced.
It may be that a device is faulty or fails after a period of time. Either way if it causes injury or worsens your condition, you may be eligible to make a claim.
If medical negligence has occurred, then you have a right to justice and compensation.
If you have been injured and needed time off work to recover, making a claim can allow you the time you need to recover, without the worry over financial pressures.
Our medical negligence solicitors are very experienced in these types of claim and will do all the hard work, so you can concentrate on your recovery. They know how to put together a case to help you achieve maximum compensation. We also offer a No Win No Fee service for cases in England and Wales.
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
Our No Win No Fee solicitors will take a success fee from the compensation you are awarded for a successful claim in the form of a percentage of your damages. This could be up to 25% but it won't be more than that, except in cases of road traffic accidents. Changing laws mean our solicitors will now take a payment of 30% of the final compensation amount plus VAT for all road traffic accident claims.
