Medical Negligence Solicitors

General practitioners play a vital role in assessing symptoms and arranging the right treatment or referrals. When mistakes are made at this early stage, the consequences can be serious. Missed diagnoses, prescribing the wrong medication or failing to refer patients for further tests are common issues. If your health has been affected by poor treatment from your doctor, we can support you with a GP Negligence Claim. We take a calm and detailed approach, helping you understand whether there has been a breach in your care and what your options are.

Hospitals should be places where patients feel safe, cared for and treated with dignity. When care falls below the standard expected, it can have lasting and sometimes life-changing effects. Hospital negligence can include surgical mistakes, poor hygiene practices, lack of monitoring, medication errors or delays in diagnosis. These failings may involve several departments or multiple professionals. We understand how confusing and distressing these experiences can be. Our solicitors will investigate what went wrong, whether the correct procedures were followed and whether your care could have been better. We are here to support you every step of the way.

Emergency departments are busy environments where quick decisions must be made. But that does not excuse a failure to treat patients safely and appropriately. If your condition was not recognised, was triaged incorrectly, or treatment was delayed without reason, you may have grounds for an Accident and Emergency Claim. Many of the cases we deal with involve missed heart attacks, strokes, head injuries or infections like sepsis. We will review the circumstances surrounding your care and work closely with medical experts to assess whether mistakes were made.

Families place great trust in care homes to look after their loved ones, particularly those who are elderly, vulnerable or living with complex medical conditions. Sadly, that trust is sometimes broken. Care home negligence can include poor standards of hygiene, failure to prevent falls, untreated pressure sores or missed doses of medication. In some cases, it may even involve neglect or abuse. Whether your concern relates to physical harm, emotional distress or a breach of duty, we will listen carefully and act decisively. We are committed to protecting vulnerable individuals and holding care providers accountable when they fail in their responsibilities.

Operations always carry some risk, but patients have a right to expect competent care before, during and after surgery. Surgical mistakes can include operating on the wrong body part, causing internal injuries or failing to remove surgical equipment. As experienced Surgical Negligence Solicitors, we support clients who have experienced unexpected complications, further procedures or lasting disability because something went wrong in theatre. Our team will obtain expert medical opinions, explain your legal rights clearly and pursue fair compensation for the harm you have suffered.

A brain injury caused by medical negligence can have severe and lifelong consequences. These cases are often complex and require detailed investigation by legal and medical experts. Negligent brain injuries may occur during birth, surgery, anaesthesia or due to untreated infections or trauma. Some clients may be left with cognitive difficulties, speech or movement problems, or a reduced quality of life. If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to a medical error, we can help you understand your rights and access support. Our experienced team has successfully handled many brain injury negligence claims, always with care and compassion.

Damage to the spine can cause loss of movement, long-term pain or, in the most serious cases, paralysis. When such an injury is the result of avoidable medical error, the impact can be overwhelming. Spinal injury claims often arise from surgical mistakes, delayed treatment or mishandling during procedures like epidurals or spinal injections. Our solicitors will work closely with spinal injury specialists to understand the full extent of your injury, how it could have been prevented, and what your future needs will be. We are committed to securing the compensation you need to rebuild your life.

Cosmetic procedures are often elective, but that does not reduce the duty of care owed to patients. When a procedure goes wrong, it can lead to physical pain, emotional distress and financial loss. At PSR Solicitors, we support clients with a wide range of Cosmetic Surgery Claims, including those involving poor surgical technique, infections, lack of informed consent or unsatisfactory outcomes. Whether your treatment was carried out privately or through the NHS, we will help you understand if the standard of care you received was negligent and guide you through the claims process with sensitivity.

Dental errors can cause long-lasting pain and complications. We help clients with Dental Negligence Claims involving failed root canals, nerve injuries, unnecessary extractions or delayed diagnosis of oral conditions. Many cases arise from treatment plans that were not properly explained or from dentists failing to act on visible signs of decay or infection. If your dental treatment has led to ongoing pain, cosmetic damage or further procedures, our experienced team can help you take the next steps with clear legal advice and practical support.

When a medical professional fails to correctly identify your condition, the result can be a serious deterioration in your health. We act for clients in a wide range of Medical Misdiagnosis Claims, whether the error occurred in a GP surgery, hospital or specialist clinic. Misdiagnosis may lead to incorrect treatment or delays that worsen your condition. In some cases, patients are wrongly told they are fine and sent home without proper investigation. If this has happened to you or a loved one, we will listen to your concerns and explore whether you have grounds for a claim.

Timely diagnosis is essential to successful treatment. When tests are not carried out, results are overlooked or referrals are delayed, a patient’s condition may progress unnecessarily. We assist clients with Delayed Diagnosis Claims across a range of medical conditions, including cancer, sepsis and stroke. These are situations where earlier action could have made a critical difference. Our team will examine the timeline of your care, consult with independent medical experts and help you seek the compensation you need for recovery and future support.

Medical devices such as implants, pacemakers, joint replacements or contraceptive devices are meant to improve lives. But when they fail, the results can be painful, dangerous and distressing. If you have suffered harm because of a faulty or poorly fitted medical device, we can advise you on making a claim. Defective medical device claims may involve product recalls, lack of proper warnings, or negligent fitting by a medical professional. 

Diabetes requires careful monitoring and treatment to prevent serious complications such as sight loss, nerve damage, or amputation. Sadly, medical mistakes can allow these risks to become a reality. Diabetes negligence can include failing to diagnose the condition, incorrect insulin management, or poor monitoring of blood sugar levels. We represent clients whose diabetes care was not properly managed by GPs, hospital staff or specialist nurses. If you believe that your condition has worsened due to substandard treatment, our team will provide clear advice and take action to protect your rights.

Sepsis is a medical emergency that requires urgent treatment. Delays in recognising the signs or failing to act quickly can lead to life-threatening consequences or even loss of life. We support families and individuals through Sepsis Medical Negligence Claims, whether the condition was missed in hospital, in A&E or by a GP. Our team understands how fast sepsis can develop, and we will work hard to establish what should have been done differently and how this has affected your life or your loved one’s future.

Before undergoing any treatment or procedure, you are entitled to clear, honest information about the risks and alternatives. If a doctor fails to explain what could go wrong — or if you were pressured into agreeing without full understanding — this may amount to negligence. Claims for failure to gain informed consent often arise when complications occur that the patient was never warned about. We will examine the decision-making process around your care, whether proper explanations were given and whether your consent was truly valid. Everyone has the right to make informed choices about their body and treatment.

When cancer is not detected early, the delay can have a devastating effect on both treatment options and overall outcome. A failure to investigate symptoms properly or a misread scan can result in months of unnecessary illness. We act for individuals and families affected by Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims, including more specific cases such as Prostate Cancer Misdiagnosis and Breast Cancer Misdiagnosis. If you believe your condition could have been treated sooner, our expert solicitors will work with you to uncover what went wrong and help you take the next step.
