Malpractice claims, handled end to end.

From medical evidence to compensation — everything your claim needs, in both jurisdictions. And for those who have not travelled yet, legal protection before you sign.

⚖

Medical Malpractice Claims

If your treatment in Turkey went wrong, we assess whether medical negligence occurred and pursue compensation. Cross-border claims between Turkey and the UK, with senior counsel on the ground where your claim is actually fought.

⚕

Independent Medical Opinion

Every strong claim starts with the medical evidence. Our GMC-registered doctor reviews your records and provides an independent opinion on whether your care fell below acceptable standards.

📄

Pre-Treatment Legal Review

Before you sign anything, have our lawyers review your treatment contract, consent forms, and provider terms. Understand your rights and protections before you travel.

💪

Patient Rights & Advocacy

Know your rights as a patient abroad. We advocate on your behalf if disputes arise with providers, hospitals, or medical tourism agencies operating in Turkey.

📋

Insurance & Claims Support

Expert guidance on travel insurance claims, treatment documentation, and the paperwork needed to recover costs when things do not go to plan.

🌐

Cross-Border Legal Consultancy

Navigating legal systems across two countries is complex. We provide consultancy on Turkish and UK legal frameworks as they apply to medical treatment disputes.

How It Works

Simple, transparent process.

From first contact to compensation, here is how we work with you.

1

Submit Your Case

Tell us what happened: your treatment, your complications, and what you have — records, photos, messages, contracts. The initial review is free.

2

Medical & Legal Review

Our doctor assesses whether your care fell below acceptable standards. Our lawyers assess liability and where your claim is best pursued.

3

Consultation

A video or phone consultation to discuss your case in detail. You receive an honest assessment of your claim's strength, your options, and the likely costs.

4

We Pursue Your Claim

Evidence gathering, negotiation with providers and insurers, and litigation support in Turkey and the UK. We act on your behalf throughout.

FAQ

Common questions.

What patients ask us most.

Yes. Our lawyers will review your case, assess whether malpractice occurred, and advise you on your legal options — in the UK and in Turkey. Our doctor can also provide an independent medical opinion on the standard of care you received. Together, we build the strongest possible case.

Hair transplants, dental work, cosmetic and bariatric surgery, and other procedures in Turkey that went wrong — as well as misdiagnosis, infection, poor aftercare, and consent issues. If you are not sure whether your situation qualifies, send it to us: the review is free.

The initial case review is free. If we take on your claim, fees depend on the complexity and are agreed transparently before we begin. We will always give you a clear picture of costs and expected outcomes during your first consultation.

Time limits apply in both Turkey and the UK, and they vary by the type of case. If you believe your treatment went wrong, contact us as soon as possible — waiting too long can cost you the right to compensation.

Our primary expertise is in UK–Turkey medical tourism: our team has deep knowledge of both legal and healthcare systems, including senior counsel practising on the ground in Turkey. However, we can provide general medical and legal consultancy for treatment in other countries on a case-by-case basis.

Yes. Our lawyers can review the provider's contract and consent forms before you sign, and our doctor can assess whether the proposed treatment is clinically appropriate. Prevention is far cheaper than a claim.

Our team works in English and Turkish. We handle cases, documentation, and communications in both languages, which is particularly valuable in cross-border disputes.
