The highest-rated medical negligence solicitors in Middlesbrough

If you’ve suffered as a result of a medical mistake, Patient Claim Line can help. As the UK’s highest-rated medical negligence solicitors on Trustpilot, we understand fully how devastating medical negligence can be and the impact it can have on your life and prospects. Our specialist solicitors represent negligence cases from patients across Middlesbrough and surrounding areas, and are experienced in bringing claims against a number of local hospitals and Trusts.

What is medical negligence?

Medical negligence occurs when a medical professional, institution or clinic fails to provide an appropriate level of care to their patient. For example, a doctor may misdiagnose a patient’s condition, despite visible warning symptoms; or a surgical procedure could lead to complications when it is performed incorrectly. If the mistake or error is due to negligence that caused the patient avoidable injury, harm or suffering, then the patient could be entitled to make a medical negligence claim and receive compensation. The effects of medical negligence can be life-altering, and whilst compensation cannot reverse the effects of negligent treatment, it can help patients to move on with their lives and build some security for the future.

"Now we have peace of mind"

My husband, Nick, went back and forth to the doctors for a long time and tried everything the doctor recommended. But his illness got worse, to the point that he was in agony.

In the end we got so desperate that we asked for a referral. The doctor was reluctant, so we had to consult a private hospital. That’s when we found out there was a tumour. It took years from the onset of his illness to finally start cancer treatment.

He used to be a man with a lot to live for, but in the end he was in so much pain that he withdrew from the family. He became angry that nobody had helped him sooner, and the legal team were able to give him the validation that he was desperately seeking. The NHS confirmed if they had done more, Nick would still be alive today.
