Clinical Negligence

Outstanding service from Ardent Law in York

My wife suffered from severe lymphedema which left her with life changing disability and painful legs following extravasation of contrast media which was injected into her arm by inexperience female radiographer at Birmingham Orthopaedic Hospital. When she complained to the hospital CEO they could only apologise and denied any compensation for her injuries. We contacted Dianna Bamforth at Arden Law who took my wife case on board. From the first contact with Dianna we felt relieved to have her as our legal representative. Dianna is the most pleasant friendly and caring person coupled with extensive experience in law procedures. She constantly kept in touch with us all the time and even consulted an injury expert who declared the case was a borderline. My wife needed to prove that the harm which was done to her was caused by the hospital negligence which required further investigations over three years period! At the end my wife decided to drop the case in order to end the ongoing stress she was constantly experiencing . Dianna was so sympathetic with my wife and agreed to close the file as requested. In all it was delightful to know Dianna who made a lasting impact on our lives.

Negligence claim

I found Dianna's approach to be clear, and concise, on a matter I had no knowledge of. Throughout the process she was ever available and always gave an honest opinion of the current position, and the possible outcome. I would have no hesitation in recommending and using Ardent Law again.

Exceptional, personable service.

After losing a family member in tragic circumstances, Dianna and her colleagues guided our family through the legal process with compassion and expertise. Diligent and professional throughout, we couldn’t have asked for more.

Couldn't recommend Ardent Law highly enough

Having sadly lost my beloved husband in 2017 we sought the help of Dianna Bamford at Ardent Law who dealt with the case from 2017 to its conclusion in March 2022. Dianna was wonderful from start to finish and made something extremely hard to go through much easier. She was not only professional and knowledgeable but also compassionate and it became like dealing with a friend. The help provided by everyone at Ardent Law was second to none. I felt like I was kept in the loop at all times with excellent communication throughout. If anyone sadly has a reason to investigate medical negligence you will not get a better experience than with Ardent Law. Thank you for everything you did for me, Wayne and Evie, we will all be forever grateful.
