Do you live in Petersfield? Are you thinking of making a medical negligence claim? Our highly specialist team can help.

LOCAL MEDICAL CARE IN PETERSFIELD

Petersfield Community Hospital has an excellent reputation locally for the level of care it offers, which is very encouraging if you live in and around the Petersfield area and require medical help or assistance. However, things can often go wrong.

There have, unavoidably, been incidences where the level of medical care received by Petersfield residents has been a long way below what should be reasonably expected, resulting in both physical and psychological harm for the people who were supposed to be treated by the professionals. When this kind of negligence occurs, it can be devastating for the person affected as well as their family and friends.

CLAIMING MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE COMPENSATION

A claim for compensation following a medical error involves one of the most complex areas of law, and it really requires a specialist solicitor. If you live in Petersfield, although there are some good solicitors in town, none of them specialises in medical negligence claims.

However here at Hampshire and Wiltshire solicitors, Bonallack and Bishop, our medical negligence team has the specialist expertise you need to make sure you win your claim.

DO I REALLY NEED A SPECIALIST MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE SOLICITOR?

In short, the answer is yes. To make sure that your claim is successful, your solicitor is going to need to prove that a senior doctor or another member of the medical team who treated you, was negligent. Sadly the medical profession seem incredibly reluctant to admit they can ever make mistakes – so often it’s necessary to build up plenty of evidence and a really strong case for any negligence claim to be successful – and that involves a really good understanding of how medical treatment works including;

• understanding any x-rays you had taken

• carefully examining any medical reports about you

• going through your GP and hospital records – which are often handwritten

Our team, all of whom are experienced and qualified solicitors, not call centre operatives, also includes a fully qualified and experienced nurse who has since qualified as a solicitor specialising in compensation claims.
