Excellum Legal Solicitors are dedicated to helping you receive the compensation you deserve to get your life back on track
At Excellum Legal Solicitors, we understand medical negligence’s profound impact on your life. Our specialist solicitors help you navigate your medical negligence claim with care and expertise, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. Below, we outline some common examples of medical negligence and how we can assist you.
Medical negligence claims often arise from injuries or illnesses caused or worsened by errors during treatment, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, or incorrect treatment. You may have grounds for a claim if you have experienced any of these.
Misdiagnosis includes situations where:
• Failing to diagnose your condition has led to the problem of being untreated.
• Your diagnosis is incorrect, such as a lump initially diagnosed as a cyst but later found to be cancerous.
If misdiagnosis has led to loss of earnings, unnecessary or negligent treatment, or worsened your condition, we can help you claim compensation.
Delays in treatment can occur because of misdiagnosis or failure to refer to a specialist. The timing of treatment is crucial; delays can lead to serious health consequences, including permanent conditions, disability, or even death. We can assist with your negligence compensation claim if you have suffered due to delayed treatment.
Your medical history is critical in diagnosis and treatment. Suppose you suffered because a medical professional ignored your medical history, such as prescribing medication you are allergic to or missing a diagnosis. In that case, we can help you claim compensation.
Incorrect treatment includes medication errors and surgical mistakes. Examples include being prescribed the wrong dosage or medication you are allergic to or surgical errors leading to infection. Our solicitors are experienced in handling these cases and will help you seek compensation for your suffering.
You have three years to pursue a medical negligence claim from the date of the incident or the date you became aware of the negligence. Excellum Legal Solicitors will start your claim promptly, gathering evidence, consulting specialists, and compiling medical records to present a compelling case on your behalf.
We handle every case on a no-win, no-fee basis, providing compassionate legal support. We offer a free assessment of your case to help you understand the process and what to expect. Your wellbeing and recovery are our top priorities.
Starting Your Medical Negligence Compensation Claim with Excellum Legal Solicitors.
Medical negligence occurs when a medical professional’s error causes you to become more ill or injured. It can be accidental or intentional and may have a minor or significant impact on your life. Common examples include misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and incorrect treatment.
The compensation amounts for medical negligence claims vary widely, ranging from a few thousand pounds to several million. The amount awarded depends on the severity of your injuries and how much the defendant’s negligence contributed to them.
Under English law, you have three years from the date of the negligent incident to claim compensation. If you were unaware of the negligence until a later date, the three-year period starts from when you became aware of it.
The duration of a medical negligence claim varies based on the case’s specifics. Claims that do not go to court typically take 18 to 24 months to settle. If the case goes to court, it can take 24 to 36 months.
To claim compensation for medical negligence, you will need a specialised medical negligence solicitor to represent you due to the complex nature of these claims.

We understand that undergoing a negligent medical procedure can have a significant impact on your life. With our expert support and advice, we aim to help you recover and get the compensation you deserve.

Diagnosis of a rectal prolapse may involve:
Once diagnosed, your doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment.
A rectal mesh implant involves inserting a flexible mesh into the body to support, reinforce, or replace muscle tissue that can no longer hold the rectum. The procedure, known as a ventral mesh rectopexy (LVR), is used in severe cases of rectal prolapse. However, there have been increasing reports of complications and incorrect usage of mesh implants, which can cause patients lasting pain.
You may be entitled to compensation if you have undergone rectal mesh surgery and were not fully informed of the risks. You can seek help from our trained specialists if any of the following applies to you:

If you have suffered complications due to a vaginal mesh implant, you may be entitled to compensation for the pain and discomfort endured. At Excellum Legal Solicitors, we understand the significant impact that incorrect vaginal mesh or TVT (transvaginal tape) implants can have on your daily life and overall wellbeing. With our expert assistance and the right legal advice, we can help you with your claim.
Vaginal mesh is most commonly used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a condition often experienced by women after childbirth or a hysterectomy. It occurs when the supportive structure of the vagina and pelvic floor deteriorates, causing organs like the bladder and bowel to move from their correct positions into or outside the vagina.
A standard treatment for this is the use of transvaginal tape (TVT), which is permanently implanted to reinforce the vaginal wall or support the urethra or bladder neck. The procedure involves surgically placing the mesh through the vagina or abdomen. However, the mesh can break apart inside the body, cutting through the vaginal wall and causing significant complications, including:
If you have experienced these issues, you may be eligible for compensation.
If you underwent vaginal mesh surgery after June 2015 and were not fully informed of the risks, you might be entitled to compensation. You can seek help from our specialists if:

If your doctor missed a sepsis diagnosis or failed to detect it early, you may be left with long-term health problems. At Excellum Legal Solicitors, our expert sepsis compensation claims solicitors are here to help you claim the compensation you deserve.
Sepsis occurs when your immune system overreacts to an infection, causing damage to healthy tissues and organs. This potentially life-threatening condition, also known as septicaemia or blood poisoning, is not contagious but requires prompt treatment. Common symptoms of sepsis include:
Symptoms may include lethargy, difficulty breathing, non-fading rashes, and blue, pale, or blotchy skin for young children and babies. Early diagnosis and treatment significantly increase the survival rate for sepsis.

Our sepsis claims solicitors handle every case with compassion and sensitivity, ensuring we understand all aspects of what happened to present the best possible case. Before starting your claim, we provide a free assessment so you would know what to expect.
Can you sue the NHS for sepsis? Yes, you can claim against the NHS or private healthcare providers if your sepsis diagnosis was missed, which includes situations where doctors ignored test results or sent you home despite symptoms.
Is sepsis the hospital’s fault? Hospitals must meet a standard of care, including preventing sepsis. If a hospital fails to meet this standard and you are injured, you can hold the hospital liable.
Do you ever fully recover from sepsis? Most people eventually make a full recovery from sepsis, though it can take time. Some individuals may suffer from physical and emotional symptoms for months or years after recovery.
Can sepsis come back? Sepsis can affect anyone at any time, and specific individuals are at higher risk. Research shows that sepsis survivors are more prone to contracting another infection within the year following their illness.
Do the NHS settle out of court? Most medical negligence claims against the NHS are settled through negotiation, meaning you are unlikely to face the stress of a court case.
At Excellum Legal Solicitors, we understand that suffering from sepsis due to medical negligence can have a lasting impact on your life. Our solicitors are dedicated to helping you claim the compensation you deserve, allowing you to focus on your recovery and wellbeing.

Cauda equina syndrome is a rare and particularly severe type of spinal injury where the nerves in the lower back become severely compressed. The bundle of nerves at the end of the spinal cord is known as the cauda equina due to its resemblance to a horse’s tail. This condition requires emergency hospital admission and often emergency surgery, as delays in treatment can lead to permanent paralysis and bladder and bowel incontinence.
Identifying cauda equina syndrome can be challenging, but critical symptoms to look out for include:
If you have been diagnosed with cauda equina syndrome, immediate surgery is typically required. If you experienced a delayed or incorrect diagnosis, you might be entitled to make a clinical negligence claim.

At Excellum Legal Solicitors, our experienced team is dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of medical negligence claims. We provide:
If you have fallen ill because a medical professional failed to refer you to a specialist or consultant, Excellum Legal Solicitors can help you claim compensation for your suffering. We understand how a failure to refer you for further examination or testing can severely impact your life and worsen your condition, which is why we are here to assist you.
You can rest assured that throughout your claim, we will be beside you every step of the way, helping you get the result you need so that you can embark on the road to recovery. Our clients are always our top priority, so you can feel confident that your interests come first when you choose us.
We know how devastating it is to become more ill due to a medical professional’s failure. However, we are here to help you get on your way to getting better.
Our medical negligence team consists of experts who always put our clients first. We understand what you are going through and will support and guide you when you need it most. Our priority is your health and wellbeing, so we will fight to get you the compensation you need to recover comfortably without financial worries weighing you down.
We trust our doctors and nurses to act in our best interests when we are ill; for the most part, they do. However, sometimes symptoms are overlooked, and patients are not referred to a specialist when necessary.
Failing to refer a patient can lead to serious health complications. For example, you might visit your GP with chest pains, only to be told they will pass with time, and then suffer a heart attack a week later. In this case, your GP should have referred you to a cardiologist or sent you to A&E.
Whatever your illness, if it could have been prevented by referral to a specialist, we can help you get compensated. We understand that time is precious, and allowing an illness to develop could affect you for life.
You may have to take time off work unexpectedly, leading to financial loss. It is unfair for you to worry about finances due to a medical professional’s mistake, which is why we want to help you get the compensation you need to secure your future.
We aim to help you get compensated for your financial suffering so you can focus on healing rather than worrying about money. If a medical practitioner has failed to refer you, resulting in further suffering, we can help you claim compensation to get your life back on track.
Our team is dedicated to every client and strives to make the claims process as straightforward as possible. We promise that you will be in safe hands with us.
Failure to refer patients for specialist treatment or examination can have devastating effects. If you have suffered because your doctor did not refer you when they should have, you deserve answers and compensation. We can help you achieve this.
We know that following a severe diagnosis, your life changes. You may suffer psychologically from receiving life-changing news and feel angry, depressed, anxious, and helpless. You or a family member might have to take time off work for appointments or stop working altogether, which can be financially straining.
We understand you want to focus on recovery, so we aim to help you. Please look forward to a bright future without worrying about money for treatment, travel, or time off work. While we cannot turn back time, we can help you get your life back on track.
Medical professionals have a duty of care to inform you about any treatments, procedures, or medications you might undertake. If they do not, and you become ill, they are liable for your illness. We understand that falling ill because of someone else’s failure is frustrating and unfair, so we are here to help you claim compensation.
Our expert medical negligence solicitors will support you throughout your claim. Your wellbeing is our top priority, so we will do everything we can to ensure you get the result you need to recover and move forward.
When you are ill and seek advice from a medical professional, they are responsible for informing you about treatments, the risks, and alternatives. If they do not, they have not obtained your ‘informed consent’ to proceed with treatment.
Medical practitioners who fail to inform you of everything necessary are breaching their duty of care. If they do not tell you all the risks of treatment or medication, they can be held responsible if you become sicker as a result.
Informed consent means that your doctor must give you all the information about the treatment, and you must decide to go ahead without influence from someone else. If you were not informed of the exact treatment, you were given and allowed to make an independent decision before receiving it, you cannot legally have given your consent.
Before agreeing to any treatment, a medical professional must provide all the details you need to make an informed decision. This includes informing you of any risks, side effects, and alternatives and ensuring you fully understand the treatment.
If a medical professional has failed to get your informed consent and it has caused more damage to your health, you deserve compensation. Our team has helped many people get their lives back on track after suffering due to a medical practitioner’s failure to inform them fully before treatment.
We understand that claiming compensation may be the last thing on your mind, but it can help you recover in peace without stressing about money. You can take time off work without financial worries and be compensated for additional treatment or medication costs.
We want to help you overcome what happened and look forward to a bright future. Contact Excellum Legal Solicitors today for expert help and advice.

At Excellum Legal Solicitors, we frequently handle claims involving:
You may be eligible to claim compensation if you have experienced medical complications due to the surgery or inadequate aftercare. Additionally, you may have grounds for a claim if the results significantly differ from what you were promised or if you were not informed of the risks before surgery.

If your breast surgery has left you suffering unnecessarily, Excellum Legal Solicitors is here to assist you.
Unfortunately, breast surgery doesn’t always go as planned, leaving patients with substandard results, which can have severe physical and emotional impacts that may last a long time. If you have undergone cosmetic breast surgery that has gone wrong due to a negligent medical professional, we can help you with your claim.
You may be entitled to compensation for physical, emotional, and financial stress. Additionally, you may receive an amount to cover any further treatment or surgery needed to rectify the initial error.
Various issues can arise during breast surgery, affecting the overall outcome. If you believe your surgeon is responsible for an error, we can help assess your situation.
For instance, during breast enlargement surgery, complications such as fluid build-up or fat necrosis can occur. While these issues are not always avoidable and not necessarily the surgeon’s fault, if substandard post-operative care led to these complications, you could claim compensation.
Similarly, in breast uplift procedures, nerve damage around the nipples can result in loss of sensation, which can occur naturally or due to medical errors, such as using faulty equipment during surgery.
Other common risks of breast surgery include infection, gel bleeds, implant ruptures, haematomas, excessive scarring, lumps, and uneven results.
Understanding that every type of cosmetic or medical surgery carries risks is crucial. Your doctor or surgeon must thoroughly explain these risks before your procedure. They can be held responsible if they fail to do so and something goes wrong.
Our no-win, no-fee breast surgery claims experts at Excellum Legal Solicitors are here to help.
There are four primary types of breast surgery: enlargement, uplift, reduction, and reconstruction. Each type of surgery is performed differently and aims for different results. Regardless of the type of breast surgery you undergo, you must be fully informed of any potential risks or complications during your initial consultation. The risks you face will depend on the specific type of surgery.
Medical professionals must ensure you are fully aware of the risks involved with your procedure and confirm you are not allergic to any materials used during the surgery or implanted in you. Below are some of the most common types of breast surgery injuries.
Our no-win, no-fee breast surgery claims experts at Excellum Legal Solicitors are here to help.
Breast uplift surgery involves removing excess skin and tightening the remaining skin. Potential complications include:
These complications could occur naturally or due to medical errors such as faulty equipment, poor aftercare, or procedural mistakes.
Breast reduction surgery reduces the size and weight of the breasts. Possible complications include:
Doctors must take precautions to prevent these complications and inform you of the standard risks. If you were not informed of the risks, you may be able to make a claim.
If you have suffered due to any type of breast surgery, contact Excellum Legal Solicitors today. Our expert team is ready to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
If you are suffering due to an undiagnosed scaphoid fracture, you may be entitled to compensation. Although common, scaphoid fractures are often overlooked by doctors. This can lead to complications in the joints of your hands, causing pain and discomfort over time.
A scaphoid fracture involves the breaking of the small bone on the thumb side of your wrist, usually resulting from a fall onto an outstretched hand. Despite being the most common type of wrist fracture, it is frequently mistaken for a sprain due to minimal swelling and varying levels of pain. Common symptoms include tenderness over the bone and pain when moving your thumb or gripping objects.
If your scaphoid fracture was not diagnosed correctly, Excellum Legal Solicitors can help you claim compensation. Contact us to start your missed fracture compensation claim.
Scaphoid fractures are often missed in A&E departments across the UK. Timely treatment is crucial as it relies on a good blood supply to the fracture site. If mistaken for a sprain, undiagnosed scaphoid fractures can lead to long-term complications, such as:
If medical negligence caused these complications, you could be eligible for compensation.
Scaphoid fractures are frequently missed when medical staff fail to take appropriate X-rays. A&E staff should X-ray the injured area upon arrival, but swelling can obscure the injury, necessitating a follow-up X-ray. If X-rays are not taken from two angles, fractures can be missed. Failure to follow these procedures can lead to undiagnosed fractures and untreated injuries.
Medical misdiagnosis occurs more frequently than expected, but no one should suffer in silence. If you are experiencing pain due to an undiagnosed scaphoid fracture, Excellum Legal Solicitors is here to help you claim compensation. While compensation cannot eliminate your pain, it can cover medical expenses, travel costs, and lost wages.
Contact our medical negligence solicitors at Excellum Legal Solicitors, based in Manchester, to assist anyone living in England or Wales with their missed or undiagnosed scaphoid.
Under English law, the cc case is generally three years from the date of the negligent act or omission or from the date the claimant became aware of the injury and its negligent cause, whichever is later. This is stipulated under the Limitation Act 1980.

Under English law, the cc case is generally three years from the date of the negligent act or omission or from the date the claimant became aware of the injury and its negligent cause, whichever is later. This is stipulated under the Limitation Act 1980.
By adhering to these limitation rules, claimants, and their legal advisors, such as those at Excellum Legal Solicitors, can better navigate the complexities of clinical negligence claims in England. Excellum Legal Solicitors emphasise the importance of understanding these limitation periods to ensure that claimants do not miss the opportunity to seek justice and compensation for their injuries.
