We’re here to help you and your family

Mistakes made during your ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery or treatment can cause long-term damage and seriously impact your life. If you feel you have a case, our medical negligence specialists are here to help.

A sympathetic approach and practical advice

Our solicitors have a friendly approach and are easy to talk to. We’ve supported many families who have been through similar experiences, so you’ll get practical advice on what to do and full support if we proceed with a claim.

Compensation to cover all your expenses

Long-term damage through medical negligence can lead to substantial expenses for care and treatment, as well as loss of earnings. We’ll work to make sure that any compensation claim covers you for this.

We could not fault the service provided by the whole team at Tees. Responsive, supportive and extremely professional throughout. The success in the case and the justice achieved was what we wanted.

Examples of ENT medical negligence claims:

  • not properly discussing the risks and benefits of the treatment with you or any other treatment options 
  • misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of throat, neck, nose and sinus tumours such as cancer of the larynx, pharynx, nose, sinus and nasopharynx
  • mismanagement of abnormal skin growths in the middle section of the ear (cholesteatomas)
  • mismanagement of ear infections leading to hearing loss
  • misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of hearing problems such as Otosclerosis, leading to deafness
  • dizziness or vertigo (vestibular dysfunction) arising from ototoxicity (damage to the ear as a side effect of medication such as Gentamicin)
  • negligent surgery resulting in:
  • damage to the facial nerve causing facial weakness/paralysis
  • damage to the skull/eye socket during sinus surgery
  • loss of smell or taste
  • vocal cord damage
  • negligently performed tonsillectomy.

How a compensation claim can help 

A claim can help you move forward and aid in your recovery. Compensation can cover the cost of care, adapted housing and specialist equipment or treatment (such as hearing aids or surgery). It can also provide financial security for your future.

After an initial consultation, we’ll tell you if your claim is viable. If we proceed and the claim is unsuccessful you’ll have nothing to pay because we work on a no win, no fee basis.
