Medical Negligence
and Patients Rights
Our specialist team is one of the most experienced
in the region and has successfully handled many complex
and substantial cases (including catastrophic birth
injury claims, spinal injury and fatalities arising
from medical care).
Whilst we pride ourselves on guiding cases through
the legal system as quickly as possible, we aim to
do more than this. We listen to you and look at resolving
your dispute in a way that is satisfactory to you.
We encourage local resolution wherever possible.
We advise you on your rights as a patient including
where treatment may have been denied to you. We can
also offer advice on how to make a complaint and
how to obtain your medical records.
Wake Smith holds a Clinical Negligence Legal Aid
Franchise and we can advise you on all methods of
funding for your claim.
We have represented clients for many years on a
wide variety of medical and human rights issues.
These include:
- Advice on aspects of healthcare which many may
not associate with this area of law
- Advice on private treatment that has gone wrong
- Advice on treatment obtained abroad that has
gone wrong
- Assisting bereaved families at inquests
- Acting for people concerned about the quality
of treatment given to elderly relatives in care
homes or in hospitals
- Advice on areas as diverse as ophthalmology,
chiropody, dental work and alternative therapy
