Orthopaedic medical negligence compensation claims
Orthopaedics is commonly the treatment of bones, joints, tendons, muscles, ligaments, and cartilage. These are all elements that make up the musculoskeletal system.
Musculoskeletal injuries can affect anyone of any age, and can include:
- Spinal injuries
- Hip replacements
- Fractures
- Knee replacements
- Infections and bone tumours
- Conditions from birth
All treatment and operations carry risk, and while most treatments are successful, mistakes can be made due to human error which can have a detrimental effect on a person’s life by causing ongoing suffering.

What happens to a claim when a Defendant denies liability
When you instruct The Injury Lawyers to deal with your claim, you have every chance of being successful in recovering compensation. This is for a number of reasons which I will go on to discuss in this blog.

Road Traffic Accident Protocol Claims – How it works!
If you have been involved in a road traffic accident, a few pieces of bite size knowledge on the Road Traffic Protocol that guide claims can be seen as useful. The protocol is used for claims that have a potential value of up to £25,000 although the majority of claims are worth less than £10,000. We as solicitors will use the rules to pursue the insurers of the driver at fault efficiently and effectively.
Employers liability and public liability protocol claims
The employer’s liability and public liability protocol is a set of rules used for accidents that occurred after the 31st July 2013. The claims are handled through an online portal system making it much quicker and more efficient. Another entry requirement is that the claim must be valued at between £1,000 and £25,000 which is typical as the majority of simple claims are valued at under £10,000. As a modern and increasingly common method of dealing with claims, it is handy to be clued up on it!
