When something goes wrong – we’re here to make sure you are listened to and your rights are asserted.

We’ll professionally assess your situation, swiftly and with sensitivity.

Our experience working with some of the biggest medical negligence claims during the past few years means we’ll help you and your family secure maximum compensation and help prevent the same medical mistake happening to another family in the future.

 

NHS medical claims  

The NHS makes mistakes. For most people, taking on the might of the NHS in a legal claim can be a minefield. With Price & Slater on your side, the worry is taken away.

We’re fighting for your rights to make sure you get the compensation from the NHS that you deserve.

WE don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Neither should you. Even if your case has been rejected by other solicitors – our experts will pore over the evidence and re-assess your case.

We will highlight surgical malpractice and pursue the incompetent NHS staff who give the vast majority of NHS workers a bad name. Most importantly we’ll make sure justice is served for you and your family.

 

 

Private medical practice claims  

The number of claims against private medical professionals increases each year.

If you’ve paid privately for medical treatment and you feel a mistake was made during a medical procedure or a mistake made during an operation – we’ll swiftly assess your case and where necessary progress your claim.

 

 

GP  

Millions of patients are treated in the community each year and in general most people trust their doctor.

There are cases where the care or diagnosis is wrong and underqualified medical staff deliver incorrect advice or cause prescription errors. Whether it is a misdiagnosis or poor advice from a GP we will help.

 

 

Therapists 

We are experts at making a compensation claim against cosmetic beauty therapists.

We see more claims being lodged every day for botched treatments such as badly administered botox. Compensation for collagen injections, liposuction and other surgery is on the rise.

 

 

Dentists  

The boom in cosmetic dentistry has also lead to a huge number of people having major problems with their teeth.

A staggering number of dentists perform procedures poorly. You can secure compensation from dentists for botched cosmetic treatments including and traditional treatments including: wisdom tooth extractions, root canal work, and bridgework.

The extra array of treatments on offer at the 21st century dentists includes botox fillers which have caused huge problems such as those experienced by Leslie Ash who was cruelly dubbed ‘trout mouth’ by the media. If you’ve experienced anything similar – we want to know so we can get you compensation and stop it happening to someone else.

 

 

Ambulance crews  

Delays in getting treatment can be fatal. Delays can worsen the long-term prognosis for patients.

The media reports that some A&E units aren't admitting patients who are in the back of ambulances if it's going to compromise the four-hour target that they are set by the government to treat all patients in A&E.

If your care has suffered as a result of delays by an ambulance or ambulance crew please give us a call.

The vast majority of patients coming into hospital by ambulance are in critical need of urgent care in hospital and delays getting care can worsen their outcome. That could include patients with heart attacks, strokes, breathing difficulties or severe head injuries.

 

 

Cosmetic surgery compensation 

Nearly 100,000 cosmetic procedures are carried out each year in the UK. Sadly, some cosmetic surgeons make mistakes which are often serious and reduce significantly the quality of life of victims of these mistakes.

If you have had a cosmetic procedure which has failed we can help you recover compensation as well as the cost of treatment to correct your medical problem if this is possible.

Many women are offered breast augmentations that are either not appropriate for them or are poorly performed. Often the welfare of the patient isn’t adequately protected or they aren’t given realistic advice about the possible outcomes of surgery. Mistakes with breast implants, risks of things going wrong with breast augmentations and breast uplifts and reductions are more commons than many people realise.
