Wimborne Medical Negligence Solicitors

Posted on by

If you live in Wimborne, you’re likely to have been treated at Wimborne Community Hospital, otherwise known as Victoria Hospital, at some point. If not, you’ve probably received treatment at one of the town’s GP practices or even at a dentist.

You’ll know, then, that the potential for things to go wrong is quite high, despite the fact that it’s thankfully rare.

Things do go wrong, though, and when a mistake is made in your medical treatment or there is an error in your diagnosis, great harm and trauma can be caused — both physically and psychologically. In this case, you may well have a case for clinical negligence against the medical professionals who treated you.

If you do live in Wimborne and have been unfortunate enough to have suffered from medical negligence, you will not be able to find a specialist medical negligence solicitor in Wimborne to run your compensation claim – at least at the time of writing this blog entry.

Thankfully, Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire-based solicitors Bonallack & Bishop have the trained specialist solicitors you need – and can make home or hospital visits to clients both in Wimborne, and throughout Dorset. Our team have helped injured patients throughout Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset win medical compensation worth many millions of pounds.

MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE SPECIALISTS – WHY INSTRUCTING THEM IS CRUCIAL

To get the best possible result in your medical negligence claim, appointing a genuinely specialist solicitor to run your case is so very important.

Your solicitor will need not only legal knowledge but also a good understanding of complex medical concepts – how else will they make sense of your medical records and any x-ray or independent medical report about your condition. Non-specialist solicitors simply don’t have the skills in this most complex area of law.

The medical negligence solicitors here at Bonallack and Bishop have the experience you need to recover the compensation you deserve.

    Wincanton Medical Negligence Solicitors

    Posted on by

    People living in Wincanton are fortunate to have the highly-rated Wincanton Community Hospital in their town. However, despite the hospital’s excellent reputation and level of care, sometimes standards do slip and mistakes are made. In any other walk of life, mistakes can often be worked around and a simple apology will do. In a medical setting, though, that’s not always the case.

    If you’ve been affected by a medical professional incorrectly diagnosing or treating you at Wincanton Community Hospital [or at any of the other hospitals, clinics or GP surgeries covering the Wincanton area], the results can be extremely distressing. You could be caused serious injury or harm or even have your life threatened. As a result, you may well be entitled to claim compensation for medical negligence.

    LOCAL MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE EXPERTS?

    If you live in Wincanton, you are going to struggle to find the right medical negligence solicitor locally. Currently, there are simply no accredited specialist medical negligence solicitors in Wincanton.

    But Wessex based solicitors, Bonallack & Bishop, have the expertise you need in order to recover the full compensation payout you deserve – and our team has helped clients throughout Somerset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset recover many millions of pounds in medical negligence compensation.

    WHY SPECIALIST MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE ADVICE IS SO IMPORTANT

    Don’t just take our word for it. To quote from their website of leading patient justice charity AvMA [ Action against Medical Accidents]

    “Whenever choosing a solicitor in clinical negligence look for our quality mark. We can only recommend solicitors who we have accredited through our robust and independent system. Beware of solicitors who imply that they are specialists without accreditation by AvMA or the Law Society.”

    Quite a few law firms do medical negligence work and some claim to be specialists – but, in reality, very few actually are. The difficulty of medical negligence work is often underestimated and the solicitors who specialise in it need skills spanning both medical negligence law and medical practice. Why? Because the evidence needed to support your claim will involve complex medical records, reports, medical terminology and may have to involve, for example, examination of your x-rays to construct a convincing argument on your behalf. Only specialist medical solicitors have these skills.

      Newbury Medical Negligence Solicitors

      Posted on by

      If you’ve been the victim of medical negligence at the hands of a care professional, it can be extremely distressing and even leave you with life-changing injuries. Patients living in Newbury may have been treated locally at the West Berkshire Community Hospital or through another of the hospitals and units run by the Donnington Hospital Trust, and if they’ve received the negligent treatment they could be entitled to compensation.

      If you live in Newbury and you have suffered at the hands of a negligent medical professional, it’s really important that you get in touch with a specialist medical negligence solicitor if you are thinking of making a compensation claim.

      However, unfortunately, there are no specialist and accredited medical negligence solicitors currently in practice in Newbury itself. The good news is that the specialists at Bonallack & Bishop can help victims of medical negligence in Newbury.

      DO I NEED TO INSTRUCT A SPECIALIST MEDICAL SOLICITOR?

      We think so – and so do leading patient justice charity AvMA [ Action against Medical Accidents]. To quote from their website:

      ” Clinical negligence is a highly complex and specialist area of law. It requires medical as well as legal knowledge…..In our opinion, specialist solicitors are much more likely to make an informed assessment of the chances of success in claiming compensation for clinical negligence……. Unfortunately, many claimants have been badly let down by solicitors taking on clinical negligence cases which they are not competent to handle.”

      Solicitors conducting medical negligence claims need to have knowledge of both law and medicine. Non-specialist solicitors often lack the required expertise and as a result, their clients could lose out.

          NHS medical negligence claims – rise expected

          Posted on by

          The number of NHS Medical Negligence Claims is likely to rise in the next year – at least that’s what the new boss of the NHS Litigation Authority says.

          In advance of the government plans to reform the funding of personal injury and medical negligence compensation claims next April, Catherine Dixon, the NHS Litigation Authority Chief Executive, expects a short-term rise in the number of claims made – up from 9,143 –last year’s all-time record number of NHS negligence claims.

          The theory appears to be that there will be more activity to get potential claimants to sign no win no fee agreements prior to April and therefore there will be a temporary bulge in the number of claims made,. This comes on the back of a record year for NHS claims – when for the first time in the 16 year history of the NHS Litigation Authority, compensation payouts for NHS medical mistakes exceeded £1bn.

          Ms Dixon seemed optimistic about the latest figures – on the basis that the number of compensation claims which were actually settled or closed increased last year by 13% to 14,171, whilst the average length of time it took the claim to be resolved dropped by 25% to just over 42 months.

          Speaking to the Law Society Gazette, the NHS Litigation Authority Chief Executive denied that the authority was unrealistic in trying to fight far many valid claims for medical negligence compensation. However she admitted that it was about time that the authority improve its level of communication with NHS trusts – in particular to make sure that they learnt lessons from past errors and improve the sharing of information.
