MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE LAWYER - LAW SOCIETY PANEL MEMBERS

Having the right set of skills at your disposal is vital to winning compensation claims. A solicitor who knows the law in detail and is aware of all of the important cases that have gone before is absolutely fundamental to the success of a case. For this reason, we only use those medical negligence lawyer experts who have chosen to specialise in this field. All of our solicitors are members of the Law Society panel of clinical negligence experts which is open to less than 1% of solicitors. Membership demands substantial experience and detailed knowledge of all areas of law within this sector. Only solicitors who are panel members are entitled to apply to the Legal Services Commission for public funding of cases using legal aid.

Claims are won or lost based on the amount of preparation and investigation that went into them beforehand. Our experts include forensic, medical and financial professionals who between them can cover all aspects of your case to ensure that we have the best arguments to present in your support. Armed with the evidence required, our medical negligence lawyer experts can devise the very best strategy to employ so that you gain the maximum compensation available.

Healthcare workers such as those we come across in every hospital and medical institute in the United Kingdom, have a duty of care to the patients. This includes all consultants, doctors, medical technicians and nursing staff and other medical employees such as cleaners and janitors.

The required standard of care is that which other healthcare professions exhibit. It is not an absolute standard and varies dependent on the location and field of medicine. When there is more than one possible method of treatment, a doctor is not negligent merely because he chooses one that is not successful provided that a body of other similar doctors would have supported his methods with the proviso that the treatment must stand up to logical analysis.

Trials conducted by a medical negligence lawyer are important and helpful in determining whether or not a doctor or other health professional has erred. Medical specialists from both sides of the discussion will offer their advice and a judge will use such testimonies in the proper way to help resolve the issues. The judge can of course accept or reject these different sources of evidence as he sees fit.

If you have suffered personal injury and you fear you may have been the victim of incompetence or negligence then there is no time for delay. Before taking any legal action it is vital to discuss your situation with a legal expert. Our professionals are on hand and experienced in discussing sensitive matters with members of the public. Our solicitors operate a free service whereby you can meet us in person or chat over the telephone with one of our friendly experts and obtain initial advice. If you subsequently decide to proceed no further then that is your right and you will not be charged for our initial advice.
