Clinical Negligence

A clinical (medical) negligence solicitor is a legal professional who helps people claim financial compensation if they have suffered harm due to medical treatment or care provided by a healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or surgeon.

Clinical negligence solicitors work with their clients to investigate and establish the extent of the harm caused, including any physical, emotional, or financial losses suffered as a result.

Solicitors help their clients pursue a claim for compensation, either through negotiation with the healthcare provider or by taking the case to court. They work with medical experts and other professionals to build a strong case and ensure their clients receive the support and compensation they are entitled to.

Clinical negligence solicitors usually handle claims on a no win no fee basis.
