What is Orthopaedic Negligence?
Orthopaedic negligence refers to the failure of an orthopaedic surgeon or other medical professional to provide appropriate care, which results in harm to the patient. This can include misdiagnosis, failure to properly treat orthopedic conditions.
You may have been injured in a slip, trip, fall or any other type of accident and suffered an orthopaedic injury, in some cases without even knowing it at first. When you are examined by a medical professional after an accident, it is an Orthopaedic surgeon that will assess fractures and injuries to bones as well as joints and ligaments. If your surgeon or doctor misses any fractures or injuries, the consequences can be severe.
A surgeon may miss fractures or injuries because they have failed to carry out the appropriate examinations or have missed seeing them on X-rays. This could be due to neglect, an accident or inexperience on the doctor's part. In any case, if you are injured as a result of negligence, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries.

Elaine EdwardsI 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
AnonymousForbes 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!!!!
Michelle MossLeonie was Very thorough and guided me through all the process from start to finish. Nothing was to much trouble. We won the case and hopefully because of her hard work and dedication we will see some improvements within the NHS
AnonymousJohn 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.
Lisa BromilowI 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
