Medical or clinical negligence occurs where there is a failure to provide the appropriate level of care and the patient is injured as a result. For a compensation claim to succeed, it is necessary to prove the treatment received was of an unacceptable standard, and that this was directly responsible for the injury.
It is critical that your solicitor is a recognised specialist. Our Clinical Negligence Team encompasses both Law Society and AvMA Panel Members - the Charity AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents) has been set up to ensure that patients who have been injured are provided with the best advice and support.
