You do not need to limit your search in this way.

Read Reviews Of Solicitors And Law Firms

We suggest that you read medical negligence solicitor reviews, which have been left by people who were once in your position. These comments could be very insightful because they could give you an indication of what the solicitor is like to work with.

Claims For Medical Negligence In Scarborough Our Team Could Handle

Our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors has many years of experience dealing with medical negligence cases throughout the United Kingdom and we could assist in Scarborough claims quite easily. Below, we take a look at medical negligence to help you get a better understanding of the sort of injuries result in a potential compensation claim.

Negligent Surgical Care

When it comes to having any type of surgery or operation, there are always going to be risks entailed. This is something that your surgeon should explain to you beforehand. However, this does not mean that surgeon errors due to negligence should happen. You are entitled to a minimum standard of care, and so you could make a claim if you have been a victim of surgical negligence that has resulted in you suffering undue harm. Examples range from retained surgical instruments which may require another operation to an operation being carried out on the wrong limb, scarring it or damaging it.

Negligence Leading To Birth Injuries

You may also be able to make a claim with our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors if you or your child has suffered injuries because of errors made during birth. There are many ways these incidents could also happen, from failing to notice that the baby is in distress to using the incorrect birth assisting tools. These incidents could often have lifelong effects and so they could be very difficult to come to terms with. When making a claim, you could claim for the physical injuries you have sustained as well as the emotional turmoil you and your family have gone through.

Negligence At A Hospital

This could apply no matter whether you were injured in a public hospital or you were injured in a hospital that is run by the NHS. Here at Medical Negligence Assist, our panel of medical negligence solicitors can cover the Scarborough area, and we have lots of experience when it comes to claims for hospital mistakes. This could be anything from mistakes made in the diagnosis leading to a worsening of a health condition to poor hygiene levels causing an infection that has made you ill.

Negligence At A Care Home

You may also be able to make a claim with our panel of solicitors that cover Scarborough if you or someone that you love has suffered an injury while in a care home because of negligence. Whether that be a failure to provide the required standard of care, or worse, care home abuse. Deciding to put someone that we love to a care home could be very difficult, but we might do so because we might think it will be better for them. Therefore, when something goes wrong, such as incorrect medication having been dispensed causing harm, or bedsores that were not treated correctly making them worse, it could be very difficult to come to terms with. You could call our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors for more information on claiming.

Negligence By A GP

Your GP is often the first person you go to see when you are not feeling in good health. He or she will assess your symptoms and diagnose the problem. They might write out a prescription or send you for further tests. So, if they make an error when diagnosing or treating you and cause harm because of it, whether that is a worsening of your illness or new symptoms that could have been avoided, it may be the case that you could have a valid claim.

Negligence By A Dentist

Have you experienced dental negligence? Again, there are so many different ways that this could happen and cause you harm. Examples could range from your dentist failing to pick up on the symptoms of oral cancer to the wrong tooth being extracted. If you have experienced dental negligence that has caused harm to you, give our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors a call today.

Negligent Cancer Care Or Misdiagnosis

Last but not least, you may also wish to work with our panel of solicitors if you or someone you love has been the victim of a cancer misdiagnosis or negligent cancer care leading to worsening symptoms or further progression on the disease. When this happens, the impact could be devastating as some cancers could spread at such a rapid pace. If this has happened to you or a loved one, you may be eligible to make a claim.
