Our specialist team handles claims for compensation arising from clinical negligence causing personal injury, death and/or economic loss arising from:

GP Negligence

Dental Negligence

NHS or Privately Funded Hospital Negligence

Privately Funded Health Practitioner's Negligence

Defective medical products (e.g. drugs, implants)

Negligence may arise from treatment that has gone wrong, use of the wrong treatment, delay or failure to diagnose and/or treat a condition, or failure to obtain valid consent.

It is also essential to prove that the negligence made a difference to the outcome.

NB: Clinical negligence claims must generally be brought within strict time limits. These are usually 3 years from the alleged negligence or 3 years from the date the claimant should have realised that their treatment had caused significant injury. Different time limits apply to children and mentally disabled people, and there is discretion to extend the time limits. We can advise about this.

We also advise upon all aspects of medical law and related matters, including:

Inquests

GP, Hospital and GMC Complaints Procedures

Rectifying errors in medical records

Options for treatment of patients without mental capacity
