Orthopaedic Claims

Suffering from pain because of misdiagnosed fractures or substandard orthopaedic surgery is often avoidable. If you’ve been adversely affected, we can help you seek redress and gain compensation.

Injuries and issues with bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and nerves are among some of the most common, and routinely treated, medical complaints in the UK.

If you have suffered medical negligence due to misdiagnosed fractures, or as a result of orthopaedic surgery, we understand that the impact can have a long term and devastating effect on your life.

You may be unable to work, have impaired mobility or be unable to enjoy simple activities as you used to.
