Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors are pleased to announce that they have extended their offering of their medical negligence service to The Crescent, West Kirby.
The West Kirby office now incorporates solicitor Ian Free who is an established and vastly experienced Property Solicitor and will be joined by a team offering expert legal services in Wills and Probate, Personal Injury, Company and Commercial law.
GAD’s specialist medical negligence team assist clients across the country to bring claims for compensation against hospitals, dentists, GPs, Opticians and Pharmacists.
The team who offer a free initial assessment of cases and ‘no win no fee funding‘ are dedicated solely to cases arising as a result of medical negligence such as delays in diagnosis, misdiagnosis, prescription errors and surgical errors as well as child birth errors.
In recent years the team has experienced an increase in enquiries involving significant injuries arising from poor or delayed medical treatment. Examples have included:
- Devastating and life changing physical and psychological effects of poorly managed pregnancy including 4th degree tears and still birth,
- Significant injuries following surgical treatment such as bile duct injury and colorectal injuries leading to permanent consequences impacting on every aspect of their client’s life.
- There has also sadly been an increase of enquiries regarding delays in detection and treatment of cervical cancer. Usually these delays stem from a failure to refer despite clear red flags, but can also arise due to negligent cervical screening such as smear tests. These tests check the health of the cervix and are usually tested by hospital cytology departments. GAD have provided representation leading to the discovery that earlier smear slide results have been reported incorrectly leading to false negative results. In these cases the patient is discharged from care rather than undergoing relatively straightforward conservative treatment from which the prognosis would have been very good. It is not until sometime later, even years later, that invasive cervical cancer is diagnosed and sadly conservative treatment is no longer an option. Instead surgery and/or radiotherapy are the required treatment options. Such extensive treatment can have a catastrophic impact on every aspect of the client’s life including their ability to have children, the ability to continue in employment and ultimately their life expectancy.
If you believe you may have suffered a significant injury as a result of medical negligence, GAD’s dedicated team of locally based medical negligence specialists are here for you.
