Chippenham Medical Negligence Solicitors

Posted on by

Medical negligence can happen anywhere, but when it happens in your home town with medical professionals who you trust, it can be particularly distressing. In 2009, a Chippenham man fell and injured his wrist and hand whilst playing football. The X-ray service at Chippenham Community Hospital x-rayed his wrist and those x-rays were then reviewed at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, but both missed a fractured left scaphoid.

Six months later when he returned to his GP to complain of discomfort, the fracture was finally spotted. Due to requiring more extensive medical treatment and a longer period of recovery due to the hospital’s negligence, the Hospital Trust settled on a compensation figure of £15,000 which was paid to the man in 2011.

WHY ONLY A MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE EXPERT WILL DO

In order to win your medical compensation claim, your solicitor will need to extract crucial pieces of information to be used in evidence from complicated medical records. This requires a good understanding of medicine as well as legal expertise and only specialists will have this kind of knowledge across the two professions.

If you instruct us, your case will not be run by an inexperienced junior – but by an experienced solicitor from our team who you will meet. What’s more, one of our medical negligence solicitors is also a fully qualified nurse.

So if you instruct our medical negligence team you can be sure that you have specialists running your claim.
