It can be difficult to make the decision to pursue a case like this for many reasons. You might wonder if the medical profession is really at fault.

It could feel like a lot to go through when there is no certainty about the outcome. It may even be traumatic to think about your circumstances.

Our clients know that our team have experienced these conversations, and more, before – and treat every single circumstance with the highest level of respect and understanding.

Here is how our solicitors can help you.

Medical negligence explained

If you have been injured or somehow negatively affected by medical treatment, even on the NHS, then you may be entitled to make a claim.

Medical negligence happens more frequently than people think, and while the healthcare in the UK is some of the best in the world, it does not mean it is impervious.

Like any insufficient medical care, negligent treatment in A&E departments can cause serious health problems and may require further medical care. In rare cases, A&E misdiagnosis can lead to serious health problems or death.

Medical negligence claims allow patients to receive financial compensation for the impacts these lapses in judgment have had on their lives.

Our professional team are well well-placed to help understand your circumstances and assess your chances of a successful medical negligence claim.

Concerned about costs?

We offer a free consultation service so that you do not need to worry about costs when you first come to see us.

The majority of cases are taken up on a no-win, no-fee basis so this continues to be true when you decide to go ahead and engage Andrew & Andrew as your solicitors in Portsmouth.

Finding it hard to consider a claim? We can help

Our compassionate and experienced team are able to take you through the details of the case at your pace and gather the information that they need. They can help you find out how to access medical records and they know what kind of data you are entitled to.

If you are living with the consequence of medical negligence, it can affect your entire future. This is why it is important to pursue a case, even if you are not sure.

We can offer advice on whether your claim is likely to be successful. There is a limit to how long you have to make a claim of medical negligence so the sooner you act, the better.

Any interaction with a healthcare provider that has left you worse off in a way that could have been avoided could be a case of medical negligence.
