Fatal Injury Claims

Fatal Injury Claims

We put a lot of trust in the health profession and trust what our doctors and nurses tell us. But what if their actions were wrong? If you, your child or other family member has suffered a fatal injury as a result of negligent treatment received you may be able to bring a claim for medical negligence.

Birth Injuries

At Howells we are experienced at handling which can have lifelong consequences for the child and its family. We have successfully concluded many cases which related to cerebral palsy and other serious permanent conditions and even, sadly some cases with fatal results.

Brain Injuries

Our Medical Negligence team have represented many clients who have suffered from a range of brain injuries. These injuries do not always occur as a result of negligence but can be caused by poor treatment received before, during or following childbirth, delayed diagnosis of a stroke and other medical conditions which can result in neuropsychological as well as physical injuries.
