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
Where we offer No Win No Fee services typically customers pay 25% of the amount recovered by our solicitors, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be less than this but it will never be more. Success fees are common practice and they were introduced when the law changed in April 2013.
That very much depends on your injury and how severe it is. Our advisors will help by giving you advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
There is usually a three-year period from the date of the incident.
It’s a good idea to contact us as soon as possible so we can give you an idea of your next steps. Just get in touch, or we can call you at a time that’s convenient.
We’ll ask you a few questions and take it from there. There’s no pressure or obligation to continue with a claim – it’s totally up to you.
