Medical negligence (also known as clinical negligence) can result from a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, or from surgical error. All of our clients have been seriously let down by a healthcare professional, with devastating results for them and their family.
How to make a medical negligence claim
Partners Amy Heath and Katherine Fitter from our Clinical Negligence team explain in this video that while the process of bringing a claim can be daunting, we support our clients throughout the process to minimise the impact on their day-to-day lives.
We recognise that our medical negligence clients need:
- Dedicated time and attention. All of our lawyers will only take on a small number of cases at a time, so each client can get the dedication and commitment they need.
- Interim payments. Securing funding early in the legal case, whenever we can, will ensure our clients can access rehabilitation, equipment and housing and that their needs will be met.
- Closure beyond compensation. Our team will also look to seek admissions of liability, and assurances that steps will be taken to prevent mistakes from repeating.
