You deserve to feel safe whilst you are in hospital or a care facility, and you are owed a duty of care by all medical, care and nursing professionals who provide you with treatment and care during your stay.
Whilst the majority of hospitals and medical professionals meet the required standards of care, there are some cases where levels fall below a reasonable standard, and this can result in complications and injury.
If you or a loved one have suffered due to the negligent care of those treating or caring for you, you may be able to make a claim for medical negligence.
Our specialist team have a wealth of experience in claims for hospital and care home negligence, including:
- Accident & Emergency care;
- Failure to refer/seek medical assistance;
- Inadequate aftercare;
- Inappropriate prescriptions;
- Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis;
- Pressure sores;
- Surgical error;
- Unsupervised falls and accidents.

Care home negligence
Care homes and nursing homes have a duty of care to all their residents. Unfortunately, there are times when this care falls below the required standard, and as a result it may lead to the injury or even death of a patient.
If you or a loved one have been the victim of such neglect, you may be entitled to make a claim for negligence.
