Clinical negligence claims can be extremely complex. You should ensure your lawyer has the expertise to examine the medical records thoroughly, identify the relevant issues, and select the appropriate expert to assess the claim. He or she will also need to know this area of law thoroughly, and frame any discussions with experts by reference to the legal as well as the clinical issues. At Metcalfes, we have a dedicated Clinical Negligence Department, and our lawyers have considerable experience of these claims. We have the combination of experience, legal and clinical knowledge which is vital to these claims. We are Law Society and AVMA (Action for Victims of Medical Accidents) accredited, and have a highly successful track record. Two of our lawyers are also professionally accredited by APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers).
Over and above that, we work closely with a variety of charities and professional care organisations. We know that caring for handicapped relatives can be exhausting, frustrating and often profoundly lonely. We can put sufferers and their families in touch with support networks, and we actively encourage our clients to take advantage of these facilities.
