If you’ve had sub-standard care during orthopaedic surgery, you may be entitled to compensation.

Full support for your negligence during orthopaedic surgery claim

Mistakes can lead to long-term issues

Orthopaedic medicine treats problems that occur in the bones, muscles, ligaments and joints. If something goes wrong with your treatment, you could suffer life-changing injuries, leading to problems with mobility, chronic pain or the inability to return to work. You may also need further surgery.

Financial support for all your needs

If you think you have suffered medical negligence during orthopaedic surgery, you may be able to claim against the trust involved. This will help you understand what’s happened and who is responsible. It could also lead to a financial settlement to help support any treatment, care or specialist equipment you need.

Supporting you throughout your claim

We’ll take the time to listen to you and give you an honest assessment about your claim. We’ll support you at every stage of your claim, taking the pressure off, so you can focus on your recovery.

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.
