If a medical professional misses a broken bone or fracture, it can have lasting consequences that could have been avoided.
Contact us nowIf you have suffered as a result of a missed fracture because either the correct investigation was not carried out, or it was not diagnosed by a medical professional (which led to further pain and suffering), you may be in a position to make a delayed diagnosis claim.

When he was a student, Joe was left with avoidable pain after medical professionals failed to identify a fracture to his right hand. This caused a surgical delay and life-long pain for Joe to manage.
“The defendant trust admitted that, had the injury been identified, Joe would have had surgery 16 days earlier, which would have prevented the additional suffering he was forced to endure.” – Natalizia Capizzi, Associate
We carry out many of our claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs for you and, provided that you have not misled or acted against the advice that we have given you, no financial risk to you – even if your claim is not successful.
In most instances we will purchase ‘After the Event’ (ATE) insurance on your behalf to cover any legal costs should you not win the case. However, if you have a ‘Before the Event’ (BTE) insurance policy included in your home, car or credit card insurance then we may look to use that insurance to cover the legal costs and an ATE policy should not then be required.

In general you have three years from the date of negligence or reasonable knowledge of mistreatment by a medical professional causing you harm to bring a medical negligence compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule; for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to our medical negligence solicitors as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
