NHS waiting times Christmas 2019
It’s that time of year when we may see NHS waiting times increase, and there may be cases of the so-called “winter crisis” hitting our healthcare service again.
The NHS is already underfunded, and when we hit the winter months, the strain on services can increase. We’re also set to have a particularly cold winter this year which may also make matters worse.
But patient safety must always remain the priority. Whatever happens, patients should not suffer as a result of negligence from A&E or from anywhere else. If they do, we know that lives can be turned upside down, and that’s where our legal advice and specialist help is needed.
Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust medical negligence advice
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SATH) maternity scandal has been labelled the “largest maternity scandal in NHS history”.
It centres around a leaked internal report that appears to outline some 40 years of potentially substandard and negligent care, and there may be around 600 cases where failures have taken place. Dozens of deaths and cases of children being left with permanent and life-altering brain damage are being blamed on inadequate care and advice. It’s a tragic story, and as specialist medical negligence lawyers, all we can do is offer our support and advice for those who need it.
It’s understood that there may be previous cases and complaints that the Trust has dismissed that now need looking into. If that applies to you, or where you believe you or someone you love has been affected by issues at the Trust, we may be able to help.
Making a faulty product compensation claim
You can speak to our team today about making a faulty product compensation claim and whether we can help you on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We’ve been involved with a lot of individual and group actions cases that stem from faulty and dangerous products. This doesn’t just cover injuries that stem form tumble dryers and cars, but it can also cover medical products as well. In fact, medical products are some of the most common types when it comes to people being harmed.
Here’s a little advice about your rights when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation that arises from a faulty product.
Claiming compensation for vaginal mesh removal
When vaginal mesh removal has become a requirement, it’s important for victims to know that they may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation.
Our expert injury lawyers are representing a number of patients who have suffered horrendous complications that have arisen from TVT mesh implants. Some of the problems that can be caused mean that women must undergo an additional procedure to try and remove the implant, and in some cases, this isn’t always possible. In some cases, women can be left with defective implants inside for the rest of their lives.
Given that this is such a serious problem, what can women do when the need for removal leaves them with pain and suffering?
Dental negligence solicitors for you
Our dental negligence solicitors are available to represent you for any problems you have had that relate to teeth and oral health in general.
Given how expensive it can be to correct problems, and how permanent issues can be for patients, claiming dental negligence compensation is important. It’s also important that victims who are entitled to claim can access lawyers like us on a genuine No Win, No Fee basis, which is why we offer this service.
Our initial advice is always free and on a no-obligation basis as well, and we can often tell you on the very first call whether your claim is one that we can take forward.
Claim compensation for being struck by machinery at work
If you suffer personal injury as an employee who is struck by machinery at work, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Workplace regulations are strenuous; especially when it comes to work and plant equipment. The dangers of moving machinery are obvious, and even more so in the case of large machinery that could impact, crush, cut, or otherwise injure employees.
If you’re inured during the course of your employment, and the injury has been caused by being struck by machinery, you may be entitled to make a workplace compensation claim.
Fallen through a skylight at work? Claiming compensation
If you’ve fallen through a skylight during the course of your employment, you may be able to make a claim for workers’ personal injury compensation.
Health and safety at work regulations are numerous and they’re many. There can be a number of regulations that apply for employees working at height, and these should ensure that an accident never occurs.
However, as we know from many years of representing injured workers, the law isn’t always followed. When that happens, people are injured, and we can help them.
Shutter door accidents: The Injury Lawyers advice
We’ve represented a few people for shutter door accidents over the many years we’ve been fighting for the rights of personal injury negligence victims.
As a firm, we look to concentrate on the more serious injuries when it comes to compensation claiming, and shutter door cases can involve some horrendous suffering. Any head injury can be serious and can leave the victim with long-term or permanent problems. Equally, victims can suffer from serious orthopaedic injuries as well
Here’s a little advice about what can you do if you’re ever injured by a shutter door.
Need a dental negligence lawyer? We can help
If you’re in need of an expert dental negligence lawyer, we can help you. We can pursue claims for dental negligence compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
When it comes to dental injuries, it’s important that you instruct the right personal injury law firm to help you. We’re talking about a serious subject here; teeth.
With dental treatment not usually free on the NHS, it can cost tens of thousands of pounds to correct serious problems. If those problems are caused due to negligence, you should never be out of pocket.
Loss of eyesight compensation claims
A claim for loss of eyesight compensation will usually be classed as a serious injury compensation claim, which is what we focus on when it comes to personal injury cases.
Pay-outs and valuations for this type of claim can be substantial. We need to take into account the significant loss of amenity caused to you, as well as financial losses from being unable to work in the same capacity as you previously have (where applicable). It’s our job to prove that you’re entitled to make a claim for compensation and then to maximise the amount you receive using expert evidence.
Read on for more advice about when you can be eligible to make a claim and how we can help you with No Win, No Fee representation.
