If you are thinking about making a clinical negligence claim, it is important that your clinical negligence solicitors are specialists in this complex field. The legal requirements to prove a clinical negligence claim are tough and it is essential that you have a specialist lawyer who is an expert in this area of law in order to achieve a successful result.
If you have been injured as a result of negligent medical treatment, you are entitled to claim clinical negligence compensation. We have won many such cases on behalf of injured patients and helped them rebuild their lives.
We have clinical negligence solicitors who are panel members of the Law Society Clinical Negligence Accreditation Scheme which recognises their expertise in clinical negligence matters. Clare Carter is also a member of the AvMA clinical negligence panel.
We have experience in successfully dealing with a wide range of cases against:
- NHS Hospitals
- Private Hospitals
- Consultants
- Doctors
- GPs
- Dentists
- Nurses
Potential clinical negligence claims need careful and detailed investigations. You have to prove that the treatment you received fell below a reasonable standard of care and that this caused you to suffer the injury. Not all unsatisfactory medical outcomes are as a result of negligence. Cases tend to be complex and raise difficult and sensitive issues. We recognise this and deal with all cases professionally and sympathetically and have the specialist expertise to act for clients in these cases and obtain the best possible outcomes.
