Cosmetic treatment

We spend more money than ever on an increasing range of beauty and cosmetic treatments. Sadly, the number of injuries and illnesses caused by these procedures is increasing. If you have been injured as a result of beauty or cosmetic treatment negligence, the Hugh James team of cosmetic negligence solicitors can help.

Hugh James has specialists who deal with all types of cosmetic treatment negligence and beauty mistreatment claims. We have helped many people who have suffered pain, financial loss and embarrassment as a result of cosmetic treatment negligence.

Medical staff working in the private cosmetic sector are obligated to provide the same level of care as their NHS colleagues. When pursuing a cosmetic treatment negligence compensation claim, you do so as a breach of contract which has lead to negligent care. The specialist Cosmetic Treatment Negligence Team at Hugh James can also assist if you have received negligent treatment under the NHS.
