Orthopaedic injuries involve the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. These injuries can be extremely painful and often require surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term treatment. When an orthopaedic injury is caused by negligence—whether in hospital, during surgery, or following a misdiagnosis—the impact can be life-changing.
At Aston Knight Solicitors, our expert team of orthopaedic negligence solicitors specialise in securing compensation for clients who have suffered avoidable harm. We are here to help you get the justice and financial support you need to move forward.

Case Study
Orthopaedic Negligence Settlement
A client of Aston Knight Solicitors suffered severe complications after a fracture was negligently misdiagnosed at A&E, leading to a significant delay in treatment. By the time the correct diagnosis was made, the injury had worsened, requiring multiple surgeries and leaving long-term mobility problems.
We obtained expert orthopaedic evidence confirming the hospital’s failings and the avoidable harm caused. Following determined negotiations, we secured a substantial settlement to cover our client’s medical costs, lost earnings, and future care needs.
This case demonstrates how our team will fight tirelessly to ensure clients receive the compensation they deserve, even in complex and contested orthopaedic claims.
