Medical Negligence Solicitors in Leicester

Our team of medical negligence solicitors in Leicester are focused on helping our clients get the compensation they deserve for the negligent medical treatment they have received.

Naturally, we place trust in the medical professionals caring for us. However, there can be situations where mistakes or failings can occur, leading to life-changing consequences.

Where there has been a failure this can cause serious problems for the patient which otherwise would not have happened.

Whether you are a private or NHS patient, you have the right to receive competent treatment from your medical care provider.

In order to make a successful medical negligence (clinical negligence) claim, it needs to be proven that the medical professional responsible for your care has failed to comply with the appropriate standards of care and this has, in turn, caused you injury or left you in a worse condition than before.

Typical examples of medical negligence include failing to carry out surgery properly, failing to give competent advice or prescribe the correct medicine, failing to examine a patient competently, failing to refer a patient to a specialist or admit a patient to hospital when necessary, failing to diagnose or even late diagnosis of a condition.

Our experienced and trustworthy team of medical negligence solicitors in Leicester work tirelessly to investigate how the negligence occurred, who was responsible and how to obtain recompense for the suffering you have endured and are then dedicated to making that result a reality.

The team has vast experience working on cases related to:

• Medical negligence
• Surgical negligence
• Dental negligence
• Cosmetic negligence
• General Practice negligence
• Ophthalmic negligence
• Medical negligence causing death

Is there a time limit?
Yes. In most cases you have three years from the date of the negligence, or from when you first realised the harm was caused by it. There are exceptions — for children the three years starts at their 18th birthday, and for those who lack mental capacity no time limit may apply. It’s best to seek advice as early as possible.

How much compensation could I claim?
Every claim is different. Compensation usually covers the pain, suffering and loss of quality of life caused by the injury, plus financial losses such as lost earnings, care costs and future treatment. We’ll give you a realistic assessment once we understand your case.

Our cases are also funded on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning there is no financial risk to you.
