We've got your negligent delay in treatment claim covered
Time is one of the most valuable assets in identifying and diagnosing illnesses and other issues.
If caught in time, with medicine as advanced as it is, people now stand much more of a chance of making a full recovery or living their lives relatively pain free.
Obviously, the sooner illnesses can be diagnosed, the earlier doctors and nurses can start the treatment.
If for any reason the treatment is delayed, this can lead to irreversible complications and health issues that are a lot more serious than first anticipated.
In these circumstances there are a few people who may have been negligent towards you. It could have been your GP who failed to diagnose or delayed your treatment, or the negligence may lie with hospital staff such as a specialist or the assisting medical team.
You may be able to claim:
- If illness spreads to another part of your body without being detected
- If delayed treatment causes your illness to be terminal
- If you are in more pain, or your symptoms worsen as a result of the delay
- If your health deteriorates significantly because of the delay in treatment
- If you develop a more serious condition
So, if you’re looking for professional legal advice around delayed treatment compensation, or a negligent delay in surgery, our team at Patient Claim Line will be able to assist.
Claiming for delayed treatment
Receiving much needed medical treatment can be a daunting experience. The treatment itself may take time to become effective, and this can take its toll on you both physically and mentally. When that treatment is delayed, your condition could worsen as a result of the additional wait time; and the distress of this can also impact your wellbeing. When this happens as a result of negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
If you have suffered a delay in treatment, or diagnosis, we can help you assess whether you have the right to make a claim. Your compensation values will help to assist your recovery time and take care of any future care or treatments that are needed on a private basis.

Christian is Head of Medical Negligence at Patient Claim Line and has specialised in clinical negligence claims since qualifying in 1998; having dealt with a wide variety of claims throughout his career. He is also featured in the Legal 500 as a recommended claimant solicitor in the North West.
Christian qualified as a solicitor in 1998, specialising in clinical negligence. From 2010 onward he has had a particular interest in gynaecological and urogynaecological claims, having represented several hundred claimants in the George Rowland Litigation against the Liverpool Women’s and Aintree Hospitals. This investigated the treatment given to women in the Merseyside area over several decades, and in particular focused on the introduction and development of mesh into the UK in both the treatment of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The development of this area involved pursuing claims under a unique ADR protocol with the NHS and also looking to develop the current thinking on the valuation of compensation for complex urinary symptoms. He has successfully recovered hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation on behalf of my clients.
Christian was also involved in setting up and chairing a Claimant Support Group for those involved in the Rowland litigation, which provided a discussion forum for the many women who were left isolated and damaged by negligent gynaecological treatment. He now co-ordinates the firm’s mesh claims and has delivered training and commented extensively on the medico-legal implications of urogynaecological / mesh complications. He is a member of APIL, Liverpool Law Society and Legal 500 recommended.

"He's always there for us"
At the age of 2 we noticed our son Vincent had trouble with his hearing. We had this testing over a number of years and were repeatedly told there was nothing wrong.
Initially we thought this was a speech and language problem, this wasn't the case. It took 4 to 5 years of assessments, with the constant response that there was nothing wrong with his hearing. A different test was them carried on Vincent overnight where it was found he was profoundly deaf.


After years of frustration we were finally able to provide Vincent with the support he required and received an implant. This has enable Vincent to be able to hear. The support from our solicitors has enabled to to gain access to specialist which have supported Vincent in closing the gap in his speech he lost out on to his peers.
