If your child has permanent hearing loss or deafness and you feel they may have been misdiagnosed as an infant, we urge you to get in touch with us.
No win, no fee. There will be no financial risk to you – even if your claim is not successful.
We will work closely with you and your family to understand your situation, and if it appears there has been negligence in the treatment of your child’s hearing loss or deafness, we can provide the necessary support and guidance with a claim.
Discovering hearing loss in a child early on is crucial to their development. With the right diagnosis at the right time, a child may be able to benefit from treatment such as a cochlear implant being fitted, to help them navigate their life through hearing loss and deafness.
Unfortunately, there may be instances where medical professionals fail to spot this condition and, due to not facilitating a correct diagnosis, leave it far too late for any suitable treatment. If your child has been misdiagnosed, or received a late diagnosis for deafness or hearing loss, please contact our team as soon as possible.

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.
