Whatever the reason for needing knee surgery, the last thing you expect is to suffer an injury at the hands of negligence. That's why we're here to help.
It can be hugely damaging to a person’s independence and day-to-day life when these surgical procedures are carried out negligently. If you or a loved one have suffered from mistakes made during knee surgery, our team might be able to help you claim compensation.
We help many people who have received negligent treatment during knee replacement surgery. Common mistakes include damage to the surrounding structure (cartilage, ligaments etc), failing to insert the replacement correctly, and failure to diagnose and treat infections following the surgery.
We also help people who receive negligent treatment during regular knee surgery, such as meniscus repairs, ACL reconstructions, tendon repairs and meniscus transplants.

We carry out many of our claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs for you and, provided that you have not misled or acted against the advice that we have given you, no financial risk to you – even if your claim is not successful.
In most instances we will purchase ‘After the Event’ (ATE) insurance on your behalf to cover any legal costs should you not win the case. However, if you have a ‘Before the Event’ (BTE) insurance policy included in your home, car or credit card insurance then we may look to use that insurance to cover the legal costs and an ATE policy should not then be required.

In general you have three years from the date of negligence or reasonable knowledge of mistreatment by a medical professional causing you harm to bring a medical negligence compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule; for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to our medical negligence solicitors as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
