The first stage is a free initial consultation where we’ll talk about your claim and how we might be able to help. After this, we’ll discuss different ways of funding your case including No Win No Fee agreements*.

We’ll collect a variety of evidence to support your case including advice from beauty industry experts, who can inform us about how your procedure should have been conducted and what corrective treatment might be needed. We’ll use all the evidence to calculate how much compensation we think you’ll need to cover any corrections and other expenses (such as travel costs).

Our team will present their findings to the relevant organisation responsible for your care who’ll be asked to explain what happened and whether they believe they were at fault. If they accept responsibility, we’ll try to negotiate a compensation package that best suits your needs.

Laser treatment claims can be particularly difficult because of the lack of regulation in this area but we have the knowledge and contacts needed to be successful with your case. We’ll work hard to find out what guidelines needed to be followed by the person providing your treatment, working alongside beauty campaigners to make sure the same doesn’t happen again.

If blame isn’t accepted or a settlement can’t be agreed, we’ll start court proceedings. It’s worth noting that even if this does happen, most claims are still settled out of court. If your claim does go to court, we’ll stand by you throughout proceedings making sure you’re comfortable with what’s happening.

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 know that injuries resulting from your negligent treatment can leave you with physical and emotional side effects. As you might have been 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 who can suggest the best course of action. If you need help with the emotional aspects of your treatment, we can put you into with mental health experts who might be able to assist.

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’ll always work hard to make sure your settlement covers all of your needs, making your situation a little easier.

If you would like to discuss making a compensation claim, contact our cosmetic negligence lawyers on 0800 121 6567 for a free consultation.

We accept cosmetic negligence cases which are funded by No Win No Fee agreements. Often known as Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA), this type of funding allows you to make a medical negligence claim without having to worry about legal costs while your claim is on-going. You also won’t need to pay anything if you lose meaning that you’ll never end up worse off.

Your claim could also be funded by Legal Expenses Insurance (LEI). This can be part of your household or car insurance and can help cover legal costs.

Please visit our No Win No Fee page for more information on how it works.

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

Many people go overseas for cosmetic treatments because they’re often much cheaper than in the UK. If you went abroad and your treatment 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.

If you have any concerns about the time limits for claiming compensation, we’ll be able to talk through your options in a free initial consultation.

We have a specialist team of cosmetic negligence solicitors who know exactly what it takes to be successful in the most complex of cases. Our team will take the time to get to know you so we understand the impact your treatment has had and to ensure that we get the best outcome for you. We’ll always explain what’s happening to you clearly, answering any questions you might have along the way.

Our solicitors have been praised by Chambers & Partners, the independent legal guide. Mandy Luckman has been described as “someone who pushes the boundaries” by market commentators.
