Orthopaedic Claims
Orthopaedic medicine is the field which focuses upon problems with the musculoskeletal system which includes the bones, joints, muscles, nerves, ligaments and tendons.
Orthopaedic surgery covers a wide range of procedures such as joint replacements and treating fractured and broken bones.
We are highly experienced in bringing claims for medical negligence resulting from orthopaedic injuries. Claims can result from a wide range of orthopaedic issues and our specialisms include:
- Failures in the diagnosis of fractures such as of the scaphoid, vertebrae or patella which left untreated lead to a long-term problem
- Surgical errors for example during foot and ankle surgery and back and spinal surgery, including wrong site surgery (operating in the wrong area)
- Problems with surgical aftercare
- Issues with hip and knee replacement surgery including defective implants
- Nerve damage
- Lack of consent to surgery
- Failures in the treatment of a ruptured bicep

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.
