Royal Derby Hospital gynaecologist investigation – more women may be affected by alleged malpractice
In April 2020, an investigation into a gynaecologist at the Royal Derby Hospital reportedly found that at least eight women had been ‘unnecessarily harmed’ by the consultant. In the wake of further reviews over recent years, the Royal Derby Hospital gynaecologist investigation is now understood to involve some 382 patients who were said to have been under the care of Daniel Hay, which was another 110 women being contacted by the hospital in addition to those who had already been contacted.
Sadly, we are unsurprised to find that the list of potentially affected women has grown as the investigation goes on, and there is no telling how many more women may be brought into the review of Daniel Hay’s patients. At The Injury Lawyers, we are here to help any women who might have been affected by harmful treatments, as we know how distressing such news must be.

Claim for a serious injury from a slip at work
Employers have a duty of care to their staff members in terms of maintaining a safe workplace, but some are more diligent in their responsibilities than others. It may seem simple to disregard a loose step or a wet floor, but these hazards can cause significant harm when they catch an employee off guard. If you have suffered a serious injury from a slip at work, you may be eligible for a compensation claim.
The law demands that employers adhere to strict health and safety regulations as a means of protecting their employees. Where they fail to do so, and an accident consequently occurs, the injured person can assert their rights with a personal injury claim.
As specialists in injury claims, we have represented many clients for workplace injury cases. We know it can feel daunting to make a claim against your employer, but they should have insurance for this exact purpose, so there should be nothing stopping you from bringing a case.
Construction site claims for compensation
Given the heavy objects and powerful machinery in use, construction sites can be dangerous places to work if risks are not managed effectively. For this reason, construction companies must follow strict health and safety regulations to eliminate as many dangers as possible. Where the failure to ensure site safety causes workers to be injured, the victims may be able to make construction site claims to recover compensation for their injuries.
Everyone deserves to be safe in their workplace, and working as a manual labourer does not mean you should accept risks to your physical safety. In the worst cases, construction site injuries can cause life-altering complications, so it is important to ensure that any negligence that put the injured person at risk is accounted for.
As specialist injury lawyers, we have successfully represented victims for a number of construction site cases like this, including a case we recently reported on here which we won for a victim of a defective scaffold accident. If you are concerned about the circumstances in which your construction site injury arose, you can contact us for free, no-obligation advice on your potential compensation claim.
Serious neck injuries – advice from The Injury Lawyers
Anyone who has sustained serious neck injuries as a result of another party’s negligence may be eligible to claim compensation for the harm caused to them.
Neck injuries can vary significantly in the nature and severity of the effects, with some victims experiencing temporary movement issues, whereas others with serious trauma may struggle with long-term pain and mobility problems.
Compensation claims take account of the severity of the injury, meaning that those with serious neck injuries could receive a 5 or even 6-figure compensation pay-out (or higher). As specialist personal injury lawyers, we know how to make sure that you receive the compensation you deserve for the suffering you have endured. Read on to find out how we approach a neck injury claim.
