Medical Negligence

Most medical care is safe and effective. However, mistakes and systemic failures will occasionally occur, especially where doctors and nurses are overstretched.

The vast majority of patients come to us because they want an explanation for the outcome of their medical treatment. Often, patients are left feeling frustrated with the NHS and the complaints procedure. It can be difficult for patients to get the answers they are looking for.

Our first job is to establish what the patient’s expectations are, what he/she would like to achieve and how we can help them achieve it. In some cases, this is simply an explanation and an apology from the hospital or doctor concerned. In other cases, the patient may have a real need for compensation to fund the care, support and equipment they now need and to make up for the losses they have suffered as a result of their treatment.

Claims for medical negligence can be complex. We have a specialist and dedicated team of lawyers who are widely recognised for the high quality of their work and for being friendly and approachable. We deal with a wide variety of claims and as well as helping patients and their families recover appropriate awards of compensation, we aim to ensure the patient receives rehabilitation and other support.

We can appoint dedicated care managers and also advise on Court of Protection matters. We can also assist with accommodation needs and provide advice on personal injury trusts and other investment options.

We act for clients in all areas of the country and are happy to make home or hospital visits. Please contact us for a free, no obligation consultation.

We are listed in the Legal 500 as one of the leading Claimant clinical negligence firms in East Anglia.
