If you have suffered an illness or injury that was worsened due to a delay in medical treatment, Ramsdens Solicitors will help you to claim compensation through a delayed treatment claim. Supporting you throughout, our team of experts can help you get the justice you deserve. 

We have a long history of helping individuals who have endured negligence to rebuild their lives and are well positioned to guide you throughout the legal process.

What illnesses can be worsened by delayed treatment?

A delay in treatment can significantly impact the life of anyone who is suffering pain or ill health. However, with some illnesses, a delay in treatment can be life-threatening.

We have dealt with delays in treatment for:

  • Cancer
  • Diabetes
  • Sepsis
What if my treatment was delayed due to Covid-19?

If your medical treatment was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and your health has suffered as a result, you could benefit from expert legal advice. Our solicitors are on hand to explain your rights and guide you throughout the legal process.

How we can help you

The specialist solicitors in our Medical / Clinical Negligence team will provide you with support and guidance throughout every step of the legal process. Our experienced lawyers have successfully handled hundreds of cases of this nature before, meaning we are best placed to offer you advice at this time.

We have a great deal of expertise in handling cases where medical professionals have:

  • Failed to correctly examine the patient
  • Interpreted test results incorrectly
  • Failed to refer a patient to a specialist

Delays to medical treatment can have a devastating impact on a patient’s life, and sometimes can be the difference between life or death. We will work tirelessly to ensure that those responsible are held to account, guiding you with clear and concise legal support.

Compensation can help to cover any loss of earnings, medical treatment and transport to and from appointments, as well as the emotional impact of delayed medical treatment.
