Whether stemming from a misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment, or surgical error, such oversights can worsen existing conditions, causing undue suffering. If you or someone you know has received inadequate treatment in Bolton, whether at an NHS Trust or a private facility, and endured unnecessary pain, you may have grounds to seek compensation.
