clinical negligence compensation claim

We are a UK law firm with over 320 solicitors and 20 years experience handling clinical and medical negligence compensation claims in the UK. Our clinical negligence team includes nurses, midwives and specialist NHS litigation lawyers.

Last year our solicitors won accident compensation settlements up to £5 Million for one individual client. Our first clinical negligence case win in 2006 awarded our client £3.25 Million - experience counts!

In our experience clients who start a clinical negligence claim are often looking for two things: financial compensation is crucial but also many of our clients want to know why the negligence happened to them. Our clinical negligence claims service will assist you in both areas.

We provide advice on how to put together an effective complaint to the NHS and the General Medical Council. We can also provide mediation services to help find out what your concerns and interests are. We also offer ongoing support particularly if your clinical negligence claim involves case management, long term rehabilitation or therapeutic support.

clinical negligence claims - our approach

A clinical negligence compensation claim is stressful. We know this and we always do what we can to ease the burden. The good news is that many clinical negligence cases settle before going to Court because, after expert investigation, it is clear that medical treatment had been below the necessary standard.

Right from the start we provide you with sensible and realistic advice, in plain English. In particular we cover the following areas:

• The options available to you
  
• How to progress your case
  
• The likelihood of success
  
• The timescales of your claim

We carry out a full and independent investigation into what happened in your case. This involves gathering all the relevant evidence and seeking the best analysis and expert opinions of the facts.

clinical negligence claims - funding and fees

We will investigate a range of funding options including:

• We hold a Specialist Quality Mark, formerly known as a Legal Aid franchise, and we can advise you of your eligibility under this scheme - at no cost to you
  
• You may be covered for legal fees by your insurance
  
• Your case may be suited to a No Win, No Fee arrangement
  
• As a privately paying client
