What is Diabetes?

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a serious medical condition that affects your blood glucose levels, causing them to be too high so that they have to be regulated. There are two main types of diabetes, 1 and 2, both causing a lack of insulin production in the body.

Whilst a medical condition that has to be monitored and treated, and can be life-threatening, it is very manageable. Unfortunately, in some cases patients can develop complications from diabetes, which is often caused by poor or inadequate medical care by healthcare professionals.

In such cases, you may be able to claim compensation to help to ensure that you can get back on your feet while dealing with your health issues. At Forbes Solicitors, we can give you the expert legal support and advice you need to get the outcome you want and the compensation you deserve.

I would like to say how eternally grateful I am for the service that Lisa has given us through this devastating time of losing my mum.

Lisa has been completely honest and upfront from the start with what to expect, and "held our hand" all the way

Whenever I needed to contact Lisa she would either answer straight away or get back to me very quickly. I do believe that Lisa is a credit to Forbes and would highly recommend her

Forbes have been our legal team for the past 6 years and John Bennett has been the solicitor for our case. The amount of work and dedication carried out from John has been immense. We have settled this case knowing my child will be set for life and have everything we will ever need. I feel very lucky to have found a solicitor so passionate about what he does. There isn’t anything in this world we could thank John with but, from the bottom of our hearts. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

John Bennett at Forbes has been patient, supportive and understanding. From the outset I felt that my case was in safe hands. Throughout the process I have found that John is happy to explain terminology and procedures so that I have felt reassured and comfortable.

I dealt with Lisa Atkinson from the Blackburn branch. Lisa was always open and honest with regards to what we could expect from the case. Always quick to respond to any query we had, updated us along the way and was always professional. I found her to be very thorough in all dealings that we had with her, and would not hesitate to use again. Thank you
