Informed consent is a patient’s legal right to be involved in decisions about their treatment. Doctors must tell them what their diagnosis is, the prognosis without treatment, the consequences and the risks. If something goes wrong, and the patient hasn’t been properly informed, this can be grounds for a medical negligence claim.
Our solicitors have a long track record of helping clients with medical consent compensation claims, and will give you a knowledgeable assessment of whether your case has a chance of success. A claim can help you find out what went wrong and who is responsible.
A financial settlement can provide compensation to help you deal with any ongoing issues resulting from the treatment, such as day-to-day care or further surgical procedures. It can also offset any loss of earnings resulting from mistakes in your medical treatment.

Tees Law’s team operates at a level that reflects deep professional integrity, careful preparation, and a genuine respect for the complexity of clinical and psychiatric dimensions in legal proceedings.
The law of informed consent applies to every area of medicine. There are, however, some areas where cases are more commonly seen:
obstetric cases, in particular involving discussions about the mode of delivery (C-section versus vaginal delivery)
spinal surgery
Every case is unique, but the impact of a medical error can be emotionally and physically devastating. A compensation claim can provide security and stability for the future, particularly where there are lasting needs. It could, for example, pay for professional carers, medical treatment, therapies and specialist equipment.

You’ll get an honest assessment of your case and if it’s not successful, you won’t have anything to pay because we work on a no win, no fee basis.
Our work helps to drive improvement and change in medicine and healthcare, so that lessons are learned and avoidable mistakes are not repeated.
