Making an orthopaedic negligence claim
If you would like to claim compensation for an orthopaedic injury arising from your medical treatment then simply call our free legal helpline on
0333 888 0412 or send us an
email.
Orthopaedic negligence involves substandard medical care involving fractured bones and joints.
Orthopaedic surgeons deal with a very wide area of clinical practice, from simple fractures, to multiple injuries of life-changing severity. With that wide area of responsibility comes a very broad range of risk of something going wrong, particularly where surgery is involved.
Not every unsuccessful orthopaedic procedure means there has been negligence, but if orthopaedic care is sub-standard and the patient is injured or his prospects of good recovery are damaged as a result, then a medical negligence solicitor should be consulted for help and advice.
Common orthopaedic negligence claims include missed fractures, incorrectly set fractures and surgical errors in hip replacement.
Our team of lawyers will be happy to consider any potential orthopaedic claim completely free of charge. We have links with some of the finest orthopaedic surgeons in the country who we can call upon to provide a guidance on the standard of the medical treatment provided and whether or not it is likely to be considered negligent.
If we conclude that your orthopaedic negligence claim is likely to succeed then we will deal with it on a no win, no fee basis. This means that you do not have to worry about funding legal costs and you have the peace of mind of knowing that if you lose your case you will not have to pay anything.
Our medical negligence team is featured in The Legal 500, which is the leading independent guide to the legal profession. You therefore know that when you appoint us to deal with your case you are in very safe hands.
So if you feel you have suffered as a result of orthopaedic negligence and you would like to find out if you have a case for claiming compensation then contact our free legal helpline by calling 0333 888 0412 or sending us an email.

Here is just a short selection of some of the reviews that our clients have left for our clinical negligence team:
Maddy Lawrence
“With the premature death of our eldest daughter, as it turned out, by clinical negligence, we were facing a very difficult journey both in proving fault and keeping heart and soul together. That we were able to, in terms of the fault element, was down to our professional legal team. They provided clear, calm and compassionate advice which got us through a horrendous inquest and subsequent legal maneuverers. They, in short, were magnificent and we are extremely grateful that we had them on our side.”
Great firm!
“I had an experience with Oliver Thorne who was nothing but helpful with settling my claim. He was very patient and professional as well as making sure I was happy and content throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a solicitor!”
Compassionate, thorough, and outstanding legal support thus far
”Jade was incredibly friendly, taking the time to ask all the right questions and thoroughly investigate our case. Unlike previous solicitors, who dismissed us, Jade and the team at Slee Blackwell delved deeper and gave us renewed hope. We are extremely grateful for the dedication and professionalism in fighting for us. I would recommend Slee Blackwell to anyone in need of legal assistance.”
Mesh claim
“I cannot thank the team enough there understanding and empathy and the knowledge is outstanding. Caroline has been supportive every step of the way, she has informed me and kept me updated how the claim has progressed she has also had great understanding around my mental health and the physical damage I have occurred. I cannot thank the team enough. The team made this experience easier for me to deal with my emotional distress and pain.”
Thank you
“On behalf of all of us, we would like to thank you for your guidance, professionalism, humanity and kindness you have shown us all throughout this process. You have explained everything to us in clear and concise terms throughout and we are extremely grateful. We would have no hesitation recommending you and using your services in future. Thank you.”
Exceptional Service
“I have received expert advice throughout my case, the attention to detail is second to none. Their professional outlook and relatability means that I always recommend the firm. When I was unclear of any information or possible outcomes they took the time to speak with me on a personal level, confirming our conversation through email, I feel supported and understood and most of all they are empathetic, something that is often missing from large firms.”
Friendly, professional, knowledgeable.
“Oliver assisted me in the aftermath of my father’s sudden death in hospital. He helped me to draught my initial letter of complaint to the health authority, represented me and my mother at the inquest and ultimately succeeded in bringing a successful claim. I always felt I could approach Oliver with any questions and he would explain the legal processes in an understandable way. I would not hesitate to recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar unfortunate position.”
Excellent solicitor
“I cannot recommend this firm highly enough and especially Caroline who is professional approachable and thorough, she works tirelessly and is a real credit to the firm, you are not made to feel like just a number as with other firms, it’s a pleasure to have such an excellent solicitor to represent you when you have gone through so much she is so understanding and knowledgeable.”
