Clinical Negligence solicitors

If you have the misfortune of a medical procedure that doesn’t go to plan, you may be entitled to compensation. At Wannops, we can provide you with assistance and support from our team of dedicated medical negligence solicitors who will fight your corner for you every step of the way, allowing you the time to focus on the important things.

Medical negligence, sometimes referred to as clinical negligence, happens when medical professionals provide a poor standard of care which either makes an existing medical condition worse or causes a patient to suffer a new medical complication. This could happen at your GP surgery during a routine appointment, at your dental practice or during an operation at a private or NHS hospital. Whatever the scenario, if this sounds like something that has happened to you within the last three years then contact us today to find out if you might be eligible to make a compensation claim.

We all know that accidents happen and sometimes people make mistakes. In the medical world, however, whilst some mistakes are essentially allowed as ‘just one of those things’ others are considered unacceptable and negligent in view of the multiple systems and protocols in place designed to keep you safe. These sorts of mistakes, errors or omissions typically carry significant ramifications for the patient. You may find yourself unable to continue working and in severe financial hardship or struggling to cope with the physical demands of your day-to-day family life. This is where our team can step in, offering tailored advice, guidance and support.

Rehabilitation is key

At an early stage of your claim we will request on your behalf suitable assistance from the negligent party, so that you can access treatment promptly that would otherwise be unavailable or carry a lengthy wait. One of our main aims in managing your claim is helping you to get you back on your feet as quickly as possible.

Wannops offer funding for your claim under a no-win no-fee agreement (sometimes called a conditional fee agreement). This means you pay us nothing for our time if your claim is unsuccessful. We obtain the opinions of skilled specialist barristers and suitably qualified medical experts and if your claim has sufficient chances of success we approach the negligent party on your behalf, advising them of your intention to recover compensation. Wannops offers other funding options which will be discussed with you at the outset, to ensure you choose the package most suitable for you.

We have a strong reputation for impressive results, with many of our clients receiving significant sums by way of compensation. We have offices across the South Coast, in Southsea, Chichester, Worthing, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. We pride ourselves on our friendly, local approach to your claim. We will happily sit down with you and have face-to-face discussions or otherwise speak with you on the phone at any opportunity, something not always available from other firms working in this market.
