Laser Surgery and Treatment Claims

We will set up a free initial consultation to discuss your case, whether you have a legal claim, and what funding options are available, including no win no fee agreements.

If you decide to go ahead, we’ll then contact those responsible for your treatment to see if they accept the blame for your injuries or illness. If they do, we will try to secure interim compensation payments to fund private medical care, including corrective procedures, and ongoing expenses, before your claim fully settles. Any interim payments will be taken out of your final compensation award.

We will gather evidence from independent cosmetic professionals who can evaluate what care you should have received and determine any future implications to your health.

The lack of regulation can make laser treatment more complex, but with our expertise and contacts, we will work hard to find out what guidelines should have been followed during your treatment. We will also work alongside beauty campaigners to make sure the same doesn’t happen again.

We will always try and negotiate claims out of court, keeping the claim process as short as possible. However, if your opponent doesn’t accept responsibility or doesn’t agree with the amount of compensation we feel you need, we will start court proceedings.

Even when trial dates have been set, claims are still often settled before reaching court. If your claim does need to go to court, we will be there to help you every step of the way.

By making a cosmetic laser treatment claim, we might be able to secure compensation that can pay for:

• Reversal procedures (including surgery if needed)
• Psychological help
• Travel expenses
• Continuation of treatment by another practitioner
• Prescription costs (antibiotics for infections and anti-inflammatory medication)
• Loss of income.

We understand that injuries resulting from your negligent treatment can leave you with physical and emotional side effects. If you were left with burns and scars, you may be upset that your treatment has had a negative cosmetic impact. We’re here to help you get advice on how this could be corrected, putting you in touch with leading cosmetic experts. If you need help with the emotional aspects of your treatment, we can connect you with relevant mental health experts.

The amount of compensation you receive in your laser treatment claims depends on the severity of your injuries and whether any negative cosmetic consequences can be fully reversed. We will always work hard to make sure your settlement covers all of your needs, making your situation a little easier.

Many of our laser surgery cases are funded with a no win no fee agreement. This means there’s nothing for you to pay until you are successful, at which point, your opponent will pay most of our fees.

If we think you will be best supported by a no win no fee agreement, we will explain the process clearly, including setting up any insurance policies.

You normally have three years to make a claim, either from the date of the laser treatment or from when you discovered the laser treatment was responsible for your injuries. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, including in foreign countries.

The prospect of cheaper cosmetic treatments often compels many people to go overseas. If you went abroad for laser treatment and it went wrong, we can help you make a claim. As laws in different countries vary, it’s best to get in touch with us as soon as possible to find out how long you have to make a claim.

We can talk through any concerns about the time limits for claiming compensation in a free initial consultation.
