Claiming compensation for clinical negligence
We have to be honest with you, winning a clinical negligence case isn’t easy. It requires a huge amount of investigation and a good deal of evidence to establish that a treatment or diagnosis was indeed incorrect or fell below standards regarded as acceptable.
Because of our experience and expertise in this area and our specialist knowledge of treatments and procedures, we can make a sensible assessment of your case to gauge whether or not we think we can win and what you might expect to receive in compensation.
The first thing we’ll do is talk through your case in detail. Our partners Frank Patterson and Mark Havenhand head up our team of exceptionally experienced solicitors and support staff who handle all types of clinical negligence claims, including cases involving catastrophic brain injury to infants, fatalities from cancer misdiagnosis and other medical issues.
If we don’t think your case has adequate evidence, or if we find out that a responsible body of practitioners would act the same way in the same circumstances, we’ll let you know straight away.
However, if we feel you have a case, then we’re the people to win it. MPH is ranked as a leading firm in the North West for Claimant Clinical Negligence by the Legal 500 2008.
