Brain injury compensation claims

Brain injury compensation claims aren’t something that people would want to have to go through; both for the victims, and for their families.

But it’s something that is important to talk about. It’s important that victims can get some form of justice for a brain injury, and compensation pay-outs are designed to reflect not only what the victim has suffered, but what they will suffer in the future.

We have settled – and continue to represent victims for – a number of brain injury cases. These claims are far more than just a matter to be processed and need special attention with specialist lawyers working on the cases.

Work equipment accidents and compensation advice

Work equipment accidents can be incredibly common, but they can also be very avoidable. In some cases, employees can be seriously injured, and that’s where our work is so important.

It’s vital to know that you’re protected by important health and safety legislation that exists to stop you being injured in an accident through the course of your employment. These regulations put a duty on your employer to take all reasonable steps that can prevent injuries, and there are also specific actions that they need to take to prevent accidents.

If you’ve been injured at work in an accident that wasn’t your fault, and equipment was involved, we may be able to represent you for a personal injury claim on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Had a car accident in bad weather?

It’s winter. So, if you have had a car accident in bad weather, know your rights when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation.

Using the weather as an excuse for an accident taking place isn’t something you just have to accept. All road users should know that they need to adjust their behaviour in colder and wetter weather. The roads can be more slippery, and there may be snow and ice to contend with, as well as visibility being reduced.

These are elements that drivers must adjust to in order to stay safe, and any failure to do may allow victims to be able to pursue a legal case for compensation.

Australian vaginal mesh court case victory welcome

We welcome the recent successful ruling in the Australian vaginal mesh court case that has been widely publicised in recent weeks.

We continue to act for a number of women who have suffered with complications and injuries that arise from the use of vaginal mesh in England and Wales. News of the victory in Australia is welcome as we know how badly women can suffer when things go wrong. In fact, some patients can be left with serious and permanent problems.

These can be difficult cases to succeed with, so any success stories around the world is always welcome news, although the decision won’t have any direct bearing on cases here. The wider fight for justice is ongoing, and we continue to help people here on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Families come forward in wake of Shrewsbury and Telford maternity scandal

More families have come forward to speak to the inquiry into the recently discovered Shrewsbury and Telford maternity scandal.

There are families who have been battling for justice for years that are now a part of hundreds of families speaking to the inquiry. Others who had no idea something wrong had even happened have had their eyes opened since news of the scandal hit the headlines and are also coming forward.

The leaked report from November will hopefully allow more victims and families to receive the justice and closure they need from the 40-year scandal. Special measures must be put in place to also ensure that there’s never a repeat of this scandal ever again.

NHS waiting times Christmas 2019

It’s that time of year when we may see NHS waiting times increase, and there may be cases of the so-called “winter crisis” hitting our healthcare service again.

The NHS is already underfunded, and when we hit the winter months, the strain on services can increase. We’re also set to have a particularly cold winter this year which may also make matters worse.

But patient safety must always remain the priority. Whatever happens, patients should not suffer as a result of negligence from A&E or from anywhere else. If they do, we know that lives can be turned upside down, and that’s where our legal advice and specialist help is needed.

Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust medical negligence advice

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SATH) maternity scandal has been labelled the “largest maternity scandal in NHS history”.

It centres around a leaked internal report that appears to outline some 40 years of potentially substandard and negligent care, and there may be around 600 cases where failures have taken place. Dozens of deaths and cases of children being left with permanent and life-altering brain damage are being blamed on inadequate care and advice. It’s a tragic story, and as specialist medical negligence lawyers, all we can do is offer our support and advice for those who need it.

It’s understood that there may be previous cases and complaints that the Trust has dismissed that now need looking into. If that applies to you, or where you believe you or someone you love has been affected by issues at the Trust, we may be able to help.
