Personal Injury & Medical Negligence

If you have suffered an injury from an accident caused wholly or partly by someone else’s action or inaction, then you may be able to bring a claim against them for compensation. We have a wealth of experience in advising on road traffic accidents, accidents at work and those in shops or in public places. We have particular expertise in handling cases involving complex and multiple injuries and where liability issues are complicated.

We pride ourselves in being able to provide a client-focused service. We try to make an early assessment of every potential claim and agree with the client a course of action that sets out the steps to be taken in detail. As every case is different, we take the time to get to know our clients personally so that we understand your injuries, your needs, and your objectives. This ‘personal service’ means that we are more than just a name at the end of a call centre who is dealing with your claim.

We are experienced in negotiating with Insurance Companies and their Solicitors to ensure the best outcome for our clients.

  • Accidents in public areas (shops, pavements and roads)

Medical Negligence Claims

Medical Negligence (also referred to as Clinical Negligence) is a breach of a duty of care by a healthcare professional. This could be a doctor, nurse, dentist, ambulance trust, cosmetic surgeon or another medical professional.

Thankfully the majority of treatments provided through the NHS, by doctors, nurses and private medical practices in the UK are of a high standard and are undertaken without complication or issue. However, sadly, there are occasions when things go wrong, leaving patients in pain, misdiagnosed or in distress due to negligence.

We understand that deciding to pursue a medical negligence claim is not an easy decision. If you decide to pursue a claim for negligence we can assist by advising you on the merits of your claim.

We can provide an assessment of the claim and an indication as to how best the claim can be pursued. It may also be possible to see whether the claim can be processed on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis under a Conditional Fee Agreement.

We can offer legal advice and support on the following:

  • Dental claims
  • Surgical mistakes

  • Ophthalmic claims
  • Pregnancy claims
