If you have been a victim of negligence by an alternative therapy practitioner that has caused you injury or harm you may be able to claim alternative therapy accident compensation. Our team of no win, no fee solicitors can help you make a claim as they have a track record in such cases.
Over the last few years, interest in alternative or complementary therapy treatment for health problems has grown and there are many different kinds of practitioners setting up including osteopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists, plus people practising shiatsu, herbalism, homeopathy, crystal or colour therapy and many, many more. We make no judgement as to the benefits of alternative therapy and medicine over traditional treatments. It is a matter of choice for the individual patient. However, we are concerned about the level of protection afforded through the representative groups and the level of Regulation of the alternative therapy and medicine industry, which may well not be as high as NHS treatment and in some cases does not exist at all. In some cases there are only associations rather than Regulatory Authorities or licensing.
If you have been injured after alternative therapy you have the right to pursue the Practitioner concerned but it can be more complicated than making a clinical negligence compensation claim through the NHS. We strongly recommend that you seek expert advice if you are making a claim against a practitioner of alternative therapy.
If you have been suffered personal injury or other trauma due to an alternative health specialist and you feel they have been negligent then contact one of our experienced personal injury solicitors on FREEPHONE 0800 731 7923 or you can fill in the claim form or e-mail us on claims@claimssolicitors.co.uk
Alternative Therapy Accident Case Study
Our specialist team of solicitors was able to help an elderly lady whose trip to an alternative therapist for help with a minor health problem resulted in severe skin burns and permanent scarring. This was as a result of heat lamp treatment she was given. We commenced a claim on Mrs C's behalf against the therapy centre after neither the practitioner nor the owner co-operated with the patient's complaint. Our professional intervention meant that the matter was settled within a short time and Mrs C received £5000 in compensation.
