Whilst hospitals dispense the right advice and beneficial treatment the majority of the time, there are instances where they get it wrong.

As a result, thousands of hospital negligence compensation cases are reported each year in the UK. Hugh James can help with any type of hospital negligence you may have been a victim of.
