Medical negligence solicitors in Nottingham

When you suffer an injury or illness, and you go to the doctor, you are entitled to expect professional care that meets a certain standard. Indeed, all healthcare providers have a duty of care towards patients and must:

Possess and exercise the level of skill and care that a reasonably competent professional in the same field would provide in similar circumstances;
Act in the patient’s best interests and give them sufficient information about the risks and benefits of a treatment to allow them to give informed consent;
Refer the patient to a more qualified specialist when necessary;
Keep proper hygiene, functioning equipment, accurate medical records and appropriate staffing levels.

Nottingham typically offers a high standard of care to patients through a mix of NHS Trusts and private hospitals, such as:

Nottingham City Hospital – provides a range of services, including cancer care, respiratory medicine, and elective surgery;
The Queen’s Medical Centre – a large teaching hospital with a major accident and emergency department;
The Spire Nottingham Hospital – a private hospital that offers a wide range of treatments, surgeries, and diagnostic services.

However, mistakes can happen, and they can sometimes have devastating consequences for patients. Our team of medical negligence solicitors in Nottingham could help you make a medical negligence claim if you suffered harm due to any type of substandard care, such as:

Accidents in public in Nottingham

Owners and operators of public places, such as shops, restaurants and supermarkets, have a legal duty of care towards members of the public.

Under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957, they must ensure that all visitors are reasonably safe while using the premises for the purposes for which they are invited or permitted to be there. They must:

Maintain premises in a reasonably safe condition;
Take steps to prevent or promptly eliminate hazards such as spills and obstructions;
Have adequate warning signs to inform visitors about any risks that cannot be eliminated;
Have appropriate safety procedures in place.

If these duties are breached, you could suffer various accidents, such as slips and trips, falls from height, being hit by falling items or elevator accidents.

Our team of personal injury lawyers in Nottingham can help you make a public place accident claim if you were injured in any location around the city, including:

Victoria Centre – a large indoor shopping centre which hosts many high-street brands, department stores, a food court and a market;

The City Ground – a football stadium on the banks of the River Trent, home to the Nottingham Forest Football Club;

Frequently asked questions

Below, we have answered some of the questions we receive most often from claimants in Nottingham about the claims process. For more detailed information or a free assessment of your case, please contact us by calling 0800 470 0474 or using our online claim form.

If you were involved in an accident and you want to make a personal injury claim, it’s best to seek legal advice as soon as possible from an experienced Nottingham solicitor. They will offer you a free case assessment and will take on your case if the following can be proven:

Another party, known as the defendant, owed you a legal duty of care;
They breached this duty and caused an accident or dangerous condition;
You suffered an injury or illness due to their negligence:
The accident took place within the limitation date (usually 3 years).

Your solicitor will have the legal expertise to prove a duty of care. They will also be able to help you collect the necessary evidence to support your claim and secure the compensation you deserve, such as medical records, witness statements and accident reports.

Your employer owes you a legal duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. They must provide a safe working environment, adequate tools and machinery, proper training and personal protective equipment to keep you safe from accidents and injuries.

If they fail to comply with their duties and you suffer any type of injury, you are legally entitled to make a claim for compensation. As long as your claim is legitimate, they cannot sack you, demote you or take any other retaliatory measures against you.

If you are dismissed or disciplined, a specialist lawyer can help you bring a further claim to an employment tribunal. The tribunal can order your employer to reinstate you or compensate you.

If you have a road accident in Nottingham or elsewhere, your safety should be your priority. You should stop at the scene, switch off your engine and turn on your hazard lights.

Assess yourself and any passengers for injuries and call 999 if anyone has suffered serious injuries or is in immediate danger. Otherwise, make sure to seek prompt medical care, even if your injuries seem minor.

Next, exchange details with others involved, including their name, address and vehicle registration number. Take photos of the accident scene, the vehicle damage, road conditions and any visible injuries. If there are witnesses, ask for their names and contact details.

Inform your insurer about the accident as soon as possible, and, if anyone was injured, report the accident to the police. If you want to make a claim, consider speaking to a no win no fee solicitor in Nottingham to understand your legal rights.

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to start a compensation claim. If you miss the limitation period, your case will be time-barred and no longer valid.

There are a few exceptions:

For injuries that develop over time, the three years begin from the date they were diagnosed and linked to someone else’s negligence (the date of knowledge).
Child injury claims have no limitation date until the child’s 18th birthday, from which the three-year time limit begins.
The time limit is suspended if the injured party does not have the mental capacity to handle a claim. This could be due to a brain injury, PTSD, or a condition such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Yes, you may be able to claim even if you signed a waiver or consent form. The waiver’s main purpose is to inform you of the risks associated with a certain procedure or activity.

It does not absolve the other party of liability if you suffer an injury due to their negligent actions or inactions. For example, if you sign a waiver before using a zip line, you could still make a claim against the adventure park if you fall due to a faulty harness.

The personal injury solicitors we work in partnership with also have a host of experience in child injury claims. If your child was injured due to someone else’s negligence, they can help pursue compensation on their behalf.

For this, you must apply to the court to be appointed as their litigation friend. You will be expected to make decisions about the case that are in your child’s best interests, help your solicitor gather supporting evidence, and consider settlement offers.

If you win compensation, this must be approved by the court to ensure it is in the child’s best interests. The settlement will be held in a court bank account or a personal injury trust until the child’s 18th birthday.

If you have a valid claim, our team of solicitors in Nottingham will represent you on a no win no fee basis. Under this service, you won’t have to pay legal fees upfront, and you will not owe your solicitor a single penny if the claim is unsuccessful.

You only have to pay them a success fee if you win the case, which will be deducted from your compensation award. This fee is agreed upon from the beginning and capped at 25% of the settlement.
