Clinical Negligence
Clinical negligence is a complex area of law. Cases often have a high profile - particularly when substantial damages are awarded. If you are a patient who has concerns about your medical treatment, it can be difficult to know where to start. At this particularly distressing time, you need to work with lawyers who understand the intricacies of clinical negligence law and will take time to carefully explain all your options to you.
The Clinical Negligence team at Charles Russell understands that this is a challenging time for you. You are concerned about the medical treatment you or a family member has received. And you are worried about the costs involved should you pursue it. Which is why we will give you sensible and realistic advice about your legal rights. And take time to discuss the best funding options available to you, including conditional fee arrangements and public funding.
Of course, will work hard to ensure you receive the maximum award possible. But we also recognise that the claim may not be just about money: obtaining an apology, or an assurance that a similar mistake will not be repeated, can play an important part in helping you get on with your life.
We have had many years of practical experience dealing with some of the most complex and demanding cases. It is this experience coupled with our medical knowledge and expertise which will enable us to get the right result for you.
