Clinical Negligence
Our firm specialises, and has a nationwide profile, in representing patients who have suffered physically or mentally, or both, because of sub-standard hospital or GP treatment.
We also specialise in high value claims involving serious and fatal injuries, including group actions.
Medical negligence is a complex area of law, and our specialist team are here to provide you with quality advice.
Not all medical mistakes result in negligence claims. We will assess every enquiry and, if you have a potential claim, we will explain to you the funding options available. We will then investigate your case thoroughly, keeping you fully informed.
We understand these situations are difficult for patients to deal with and we pride ourselves in our sensitive, sympathetic and discreet approach.
We recognise that compensation is not always what matters and a letter of apology is what you may want. We will help you to achieve this as well as seeking compensation. In some cases, your claim may help change working practices. For example our leading case of Penney & Others v East Kent Health Authority resulted in wholesale improvements to the National Cervical Smear Screening programme.
