Services
Medical Negligence Claims
We specialise in pursuing compensation for injuries caused by healthcare professional errors. Our solicitors investigate cases involving misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and inadequate treatment. Clients benefit from expert medical evidence analysis and no win no fee representation.
Personal Injury Claims
Our team handles claims for physical and psychological injuries from accidents. We represent clients in road traffic, workplace, and public place injury cases. Services include liability investigation, medical evidence collection, and compensation negotiation for lost earnings and care costs.
Inquest Representation
We provide legal support during coroner investigations into unexpected deaths. Our solicitors assist families with evidence presentation, witness questioning, and understanding findings. We also advise on subsequent civil claims for compensation.
No Win No Fee
Our conditional fee agreements ensure access to justice without financial risk. Clients pay no legal fees if claims fail, with success charges capped at 25% of compensation awards. We discuss funding options during initial consultations.
Human Rights Act Claims
We represent clients in cases involving breaches of Article 2 (right to life) and Article 8 (private life) rights. Our expertise covers state-organised care failures and institutional negligence cases requiring specialist legal interpretation.
Questions
What types of medical negligence cases do you handle?
We handle hospital errors, GP misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, maternity negligence, and nursing home abuse cases. Our solicitors investigate all forms of clinical treatment failures causing injury.
How long do I have to make a claim?
Most claims must be made within three years of the incident or injury discovery. Special rules apply for children and mental health cases. Contact us promptly for time-sensitive advice.
Can I claim if partly at fault?
Yes, you may still claim if partially responsible. Compensation amounts might be reduced proportionally. We assess liability percentages during case investigations.
What compensation can I claim for?
You can claim for pain and suffering, medical costs, lost earnings, care expenses, and home adaptations. Psychological injuries and future treatment costs are also included in compensation calculations.
How are legal costs funded?
Options include no win no fee agreements, legal expenses insurance, and private funding. Public funding (legal aid) is available for specific maternity injury cases. We explain all options during initial consultations.
What happens during an inquest?
A coroner investigates death circumstances, hears evidence from witnesses, and determines cause of death. Families can submit questions through legal representatives. Findings may influence subsequent civil compensation claims.
