The solicitors at the Specter Partnership are recognised as specialists in the area of personal injury law including clinical negligence and medical accidents, and we can assist you in bringing your case if your injury occurred in either an NHS or private hospital, ambulance, clinic or GP surgery, dentists, pharmacies, opticians or physiotherapist as well as day care centres or beauty therapists.
Our solicitors are caring, sympathetic and they understand the trauma and upset which follows incidents of clinical negligence. Amongst the team are members of The Law Society’s approved Personal Injury Panel and Headway, a charity that supports people with brain injurious and those who care for them.
Our team of specialist solicitors have obtained compensation in cases involving surgical error, misdiagnosis of cancer including breast cancer, bowel cancer testicular and lung cancer, dental negligence, spinal injuries, brain damage, and have a particular knowledge and expertise in the area of cosmetic surgery which may have resulted in permanent disfigurement or the need for corrective surgery.
Our solicitors also have knowledge of ophthalmic procedures which have resulted in injury as a result of surgical error or incorrect diagnosis as well as issues of patient consent, equipment failure, or failing to monitor a patient or an unreasonable delay in referring that patient.
We will help you to find out what went wrong as well as assisting in recovery of appropriate levels of compensation.
Our Clinical Negligence Claims Service is 100% Cost Free
From your first call our service is free and without obligation. We guarantee that, win or lose, you will not be liable for costs or legal fees. If your claim is successful, these costs will be recovered from the responsible party’s insurance company in addition to your compensation award. In the event that your claim is unsuccessful we guarantee you will be fully protected by way of insurance against all costs and disbursements.
Establishing a claim for clinical negligence
Clinical Negligence claims are normally brought against members of the medical profession such as Doctors, General Practitioners, Surgeons, Consultants, Nurses, Midwives, dentists' anaesthetists as well as those who carry out medical procedures without adequate training or qualification such as beauty therapists.
These claims are often complex and it is important that the solicitor who acts for you understands your claim and is experienced in this area of the law. Claims will often turn on whether you gave 'informed consent' to the procedure, i.e. the potential benefits and risks associated with the procedure along with alternative treatment options.
In other cases the Doctor may have failed to follow appropriate procedures resulting in you suffering injury or damage such as disfigurement or scarring, damage to nerve endings or internal organs.
What you should do if you think you have a claim
In order for us to advise you whether you have a claim we will normally need to review your medical records and obtain a report from an expert in the appropriate medical discipline. We will then be able to advise you if there are reasonable prospects.
It is worth keeping all correspondence you have received as well as noting comments made by the staff who treated you as well as details of all expenses you have incurred.
