Veterinary surgeon negligence

In recent years the cost of keeping an animal as a pet has become increasingly expensive. One expense that any animal owner is likely to face at some stage is the services of a veterinary surgeon. As with doctors for humans, we expect the veterinary care our pets receive to be of the highest standard, if you feel this hasn't been the case you could have a claim for compensation.

Whether a vet has been used to diagnose an illness, perform an operation or to assess the health of an animal prior to purchase speak to our experienced team of experts if you feel your animal has been mis-treated. Our team have particular experience within the equine industry where people looking to buy horses seek the services of a vet to obtain a 5 stage vetting report, and have regularly represented clients who have purchased horses only for them to become lame or suffer other serious health issues due to an issue being missed.

If you feel that your animal has been mis-diagnosed or suffered in anyway due to negligent veterinary treatment contact our team of experienced professional negligence solicitors to discuss your circumstances on 0845 144 1441 or complete our online enquiry form and a member of the team will contact you.
