Stroke Negligence Claims

According to the Stroke Association, there are more than 100,000 strokes in the UK each year, making it one of the leading causes of death after heart disease and cancer.

In most cases the NHS and private healthcare providers deliver an excellent service and standard of care. However, there are occasions where things go wrong and avoidable mistakes are made, which can have particularly serious consequences.

If you or a loved one have suffered an injury or illness because of substandard treatment received leading up to or following a stroke, you could be entitled to make a stroke negligence claim for compensation.
