Even if you are not aware of any issues relating to your child’s treatment, we would advise contacting our team so that we can consider requesting the medical records and seeking independent opinion on the treatment provided.
Any medical negligence claims will be issued against Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust to seek compensation for injuries sustained as a result of any proven negligent treatment, the impact those injuries have on the patient’s quality of life, and any subsequent revision surgery required. Compensation for past and future financial loss such as the cost of care or therapy can also be sought.
Very often, injuries in children don’t materialise for several years or until adulthood, so whilst some patients are aware now that they have suffered an injury, some may currently believe their treatment to have been fine, only to find out later in life that things are not as they should be. That makes independent assessments of their treatment as soon as possible essential.
