Medical Negligence

The vast majority of heath professionals in the UK work tirelessly to treat their patients and provide a truly first class service. However, they carry out their duties under tremendous pressure and unfortunately medical mistakes do sometimes happen. If disaster strikes our team of medical negligence lawyers is on hand to guide you through the legal complexities and provide you with free initial advice on any aspect of clinical negligence law. We can help with negligence claims arising out of treatment in an NHS or private hospital, ambulance, GP surgery, pharmacy, beauty therapists or day care centre.

Our medical negligence solicitors, led by partner Mike Clarke, understand the distress and trauma that these cases can cause and we aim to provide a sympathetic and understanding service.

We deal with many types of medical negligence claim, including:-

• Birth injuries and pregnancy claims
• Surgical mistakes
• Delayed or mistaken diagnosis (particularly in cancer cases)
• Prescribing the wrong medication
• Infection claims (eg, MRSA or C.Diff. infections)
• Dental claims
• Opthalmic claims
• Anaesthetic mistakes

and many others.

It is important not to confuse a firm of specialist solicitors like ourselves with one of the claims management companies that advertise heavily on TV and on the internet.

All our medical negligence claims are dealt with at partner level. Our medical negligence solicitors have been with us for many years and the chances are they will be there for you throughout – from start to finish of your claim.

We operate a FREE medical negligence helpline and initial case assessment. If you or a loved one have been the victim of a medical accident and would like to know more about bringing a claim for compensation for medical negligence, just call us or email Mike at m.clarke@sleeblackwell.co.uk
