How can we help?
If you have received treatment at a private hospital, you expect the highest standards of care and professionalism. Unfortunately, even in the private healthcare sector, mistakes can occur. When medical professionals fail to provide an acceptable standard of care resulting in injury, illness or prolonged suffering, you may have grounds to make a private hospital negligence claim.
At Stephensons, we understand how distressing it can be when medical treatment does not meet your expectations. If you have suffered due to negligence in a private hospital, our specialist medical negligence solicitors are here to provide you with outstanding legal support and advice at every step.

Generally, private hospital negligence claims must be started within three years from the date of the negligence or from when you first realised your injury was due to negligence. There are some exceptions in regard to children or people who lack mental capacity, so it is vital to contact us as soon as possible to protect your right to claim.
Signing a consent form does not absolve healthcare professionals from negligence. If you can prove that negligence or substandard care caused your injury, you can still pursue a claim.
Making a negligence claim should not affect the quality of your ongoing medical care. Healthcare professionals have an obligation to treat all patients fairly. If you are concerned, our solicitors can help advise on your rights.
The amount you receive depends on the severity of your injury, the impact on your life, and the financial losses incurred. Our solicitors can provide clear guidance on compensation amounts once we have assessed your individual circumstances.
