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.
Claiming compensation for vaginal mesh removal
When vaginal mesh removal has become a requirement, it’s important for victims to know that they may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation.
Our expert injury lawyers are representing a number of patients who have suffered horrendous complications that have arisen from TVT mesh implants. Some of the problems that can be caused mean that women must undergo an additional procedure to try and remove the implant, and in some cases, this isn’t always possible. In some cases, women can be left with defective implants inside for the rest of their lives.
Given that this is such a serious problem, what can women do when the need for removal leaves them with pain and suffering?
Dental negligence solicitors for you
Our dental negligence solicitors are available to represent you for any problems you have had that relate to teeth and oral health in general.
Given how expensive it can be to correct problems, and how permanent issues can be for patients, claiming dental negligence compensation is important. It’s also important that victims who are entitled to claim can access lawyers like us on a genuine No Win, No Fee basis, which is why we offer this service.
Our initial advice is always free and on a no-obligation basis as well, and we can often tell you on the very first call whether your claim is one that we can take forward.
Vaginal mesh scandal: compensation advice
If you need advice about making a claim for personal injury compensation as a victim of the worldwide vaginal mesh scandal, we can help you.
We’re representing a number of victims in England and Wales who have suffered awful complications that have stemmed from pelvic mesh surgery. Some women can be left with permanent problems that can leave them unable to work or even walk ever again. Justice for victims is important which is why we offer No Win, No Fee representation for those who claim with us.
We may be able to help you too, and no one should suffer in silence!
Complications from hernia mesh and how we can help
Complications from hernia mesh surgery can be common, and in the worst-case scenarios, they can have a serious impact on the patient.
Did you know that the risk of complications can be as high as 30%? Did you know that, in some cases, people can be left with long-term or even permanent complications? Did you know that there are times when there’s very little – or nothing – that can be done to resolve the complications?
As specialist injury lawyers, we’re here to fight for the rights of those who have been wronged. When it comes to hernia mesh compensation claims, it’s important to have the experts on your side.
Delayed diagnosis compensation claims advice
We can represent you on a No Win, No Fee basis for a delayed diagnosis compensation claim.
With waiting lists for local GPs reportedly getting longer, and some patients having to wait more than 2-4 weeks to be seen, people may be at risk of developing complications and further suffering. Although we may book a routine appointment with the notion that the symptoms you have aren’t serious, that doesn’t mean that they won’t develop.
Another problem is the restrictions on appointment times as well. With some GPs forced to diagnose and treat in less than ten minutes, there’s an obvious risk of a misdiagnosis that then leads to a delayed diagnosis.
Cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims advice
If you need advice when it comes to cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims, we can help you. As expert injury lawyers who specialise in serious injury cases, these kinds of claims are what we set ourselves up to focus on.
A large volume of the personal injury claims that we take forward fall into the category of serious and catastrophic injury cases. We have a specific team of senior lawyers and caseworkers whose job is to look after our clients who need help with matters as sensitive and as serious as cancer claims.
It’s important to know that you’re in the safest of hands when it comes to this type of legal claim. With this in mind, here’s a little guidance for you.
Loss of eyesight compensation claims
A claim for loss of eyesight compensation will usually be classed as a serious injury compensation claim, which is what we focus on when it comes to personal injury cases.
Pay-outs and valuations for this type of claim can be substantial. We need to take into account the significant loss of amenity caused to you, as well as financial losses from being unable to work in the same capacity as you previously have (where applicable). It’s our job to prove that you’re entitled to make a claim for compensation and then to maximise the amount you receive using expert evidence.
Read on for more advice about when you can be eligible to make a claim and how we can help you with No Win, No Fee representation.
Medical negligence claims for children: advice
If you need advice about medical negligence claims for children, we can help you during what we imagine is a difficult time for all involved.
Having to bring a legal case is probably not what you would want to have to do, especially when it’s for a child. But when it comes to justice when something has gone wrong for a child, it’s important to know what the child’s rights are.
You can initiate medical negligence claims for children, and here’s a little advice about how it works and what to do.
