APIL, an association whose membership includes many no win, no fee solicitors who deal with accident injury cases, released a warning about laser eye surgery in early 2009 to the media.
The body warned that the level of regulation was not high enough, and that potential patients should be aware that investigating the qualifications and records of the doctors offering this surgery was the patient's responsibility
APIL's view is that this is "shocking", and that it creates a huge disparity in the levels of care and treatment offered in this procedure. NICE, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, does not believe that laser eye surgery should be offered on the NHS, but has warned that it does see people suffering personal injury as a result of botched private treatments of this kind, and that, while there are skilled practitioners offering this service, the danger is from the negligent.
Attempts to change the law have failed; the Regulation of Laser Eye Surgery Bill did not make it through Parliament in 2006, and has since been taken off the list of laws to be debated. People still considering laser surgery may well be advised, therefore, to ensure that their optician's insurance is up to date.
This does not mean that doctors who offer the service can do so with impunity; they still have a duty of care to their patients, and if personal injury is caused through incompetence or negligence, it is likely that a no win, no fee compensation claim could be brought against that medical professional.
Appointing a no win, no fee solicitor
If you have suffered accident injury or illness as a result of someone else's actions - whether that involves bad laser eye surgery or loose paving stones - you may be able to make a compensation claim on a no win, no fee basis. Here at YouClaim, we have some of the country's finest lawyers working across the personal injury spectrum, which means we're very likely to be able to help you if anyone can.
In most cases, we can do so on a free basis - we may be no win, no fee lawyers, but when we do win (which is far more often than not) we charge our fee to your opponent. We can also protect you from the other costs of a case, including the fee that your opponent's lawyers may charge. (Generally, the only exceptions to this model involve complex medical negligence law.)
Whatever your case, if you do make a no win, no fee claim with us, you will also be able to rely on receiving 100 percent compensation, as we never take a cut of the damages awarded.
Call us today, on 0800 10 757 95, chat to us online, or complete a claim form and we'll discuss your situation and your need for a no win, no fee solicitor without any pressure. We look forward to hearing from you.
