Pryers have recently become involved in a streamlined scheme in relation to medical negligence claims against Mr Manjit Bhamra
Mr Bhamra is a hip and shoulder orthopaedic surgeon who previously worked for the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust and the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust. A number of concerns were raised regarding his treatment and due to a great number of clinical negligence claims involving him, the NHS has set up a streamlined scheme for the assessment of claims and, where appropriate, the settlement of such claims.
For the purposes of the scheme, the NHS Ligitation Authority have waived the rules on the 3 year time limit for clinical negligence claims. The deadline for this scheme has been extended to 30th September 2012, at which point the 3 year time limit will reapply.
The scheme is advantageous to potential claimants in that it is quick, simple, there is very little risk and the time limits have been waived.
Pryers have joined a specialist panel of solicitors who are dealing with the medical negligence claims against Mr Bhamra.
Anyone who has had treatment under Mr Bhamra and are dissatisfied or feels that he has made an error should come forward immediately even if they are outside of the 3 year time limit. On 30th September, this time limit will reapply therefore it is important that anyone who believes they are outside the 3 year limit, contact a specialist solicitor immediately.
If you or anyone you know have concerns about your treatment by Mr Bhamra, please contact Pryers for a free assessment of your potential claim. Richard Starkie and his team of solicitors are acting on a number of cases against Mr Bamhra.
