Stroke Claims

Our Approach

A stroke is caused by the blood supply to the brain being cut off or reduced. This can be due to a blocked artery or a leaking or burst vessel.

The brain then suffers a lack of oxygen which without treatment can cause paralysis, brain damage and lead to death. If the right treatment is not provided quickly then the outcome can be worse for stroke survivors.

Strokes are relatively common and many people recover well. However, some are left with serious and debilitating injuries.

We specialise in claims for medical errors relating to strokes. Examples of possible claims include misdiagnosing a stroke or mini stroke (TIA), delays in treatment, and failing to correctly categorise a call for an ambulance.

Sometimes medical mistakes can cause a stroke to happen in the first place. Examples of this include failures in the treatment of high blood pressure causing a haemorrhage, failing to diagnose a blood clot and failures to properly manage medications.

A strong team ethic shines through at Kingsley Napley and there is ready support from across the whole team, whose assistance is always quick, accurate and reassuring.

Our Expertise

Stroke Compensation

Stroke compensation can include funds for future care, rehabilitation and treatment costs, new or adapted accommodation as well as to compensate for pain and suffering. The amount of compensation will vary from case to case and will depend on the severity of injury and other factors such as whether there are lost earnings.

If you or a family member has suffered as a result of failures in the treatment of a stroke, we can support you through the process of bringing a claim for compensation. Where you have lost a loved one, we can also assist in bringing a compensation claim for the dependents of the person who has died. Please contact us to discuss how we can help.

Your claim – why us

Your case will be investigated by our specialist lawyers, led by a partner. Stroke claims can be difficult to prove but we understand the key issues involved including whether the signs of stroke were correctly recognised and whether particular individual risk factors were considered. We work closely with specialist experts to assess the strength of a claim including neurologists, neurosurgeons and stroke physicians. We also carefully assess what a client needs for the future.

Our lawyers are recognised by the Legal 500 and Chambers directories as specialists in clinical negligence cases.

Can my attorney just do what they like with my money?

You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity so it is a good idea to think about it early, even if you are young and healthy. The chances are that you won’t need it for a long time and maybe not at all. However, if something unexpected happens, for example if you are in an accident, then having an LPA in place will be one less thing for your loved ones to worry about.

If you make an LPA now and change your mind about who your attorneys should be, then you can always make a new one later.
