Our Services

Medical and Clinical Negligence Solicitors

The professionalism and care shown in handling our case gives us great confidence in Pearson Hinchliffe.

Mr & Mrs M. Sharif - Stockport.

A friendly and efficient firm of solicitors that would do all they could to sort out any queries or worries I had about my case. They discussed and explained each step of the legal process which helped as I knew where my case was at all times.

Mr D. Sandiford - Manchester.

If you feel that you have been the victim of a medical accident, you are entitled to an explanation and you may be entitled to compensation. Medical negligence cases can be brought against doctors, surgeons, nurses, midwives, pharmacists and even physiotherapists, nursing home staff and NHS trusts.

Funding a Medical Negligence Case

Our dedicated Medical Negligence team is approved by the Legal Services Commission. This means that we have recognised expertise and experience in medical negligence matters and can offer specialist advice. It also means that we are one of only a few firms authorised to apply for Legal Aid to fund your case, if you meet the qualifying criteria for Legal Aid.

In many other cases clients are able to take the options of No Win No Fee or Legal Expense Insurance to help fund a claim. Whatever option taken there is often minimal or no cost to the client.

John has worked as the Partner heading medical negligence for Pearson Hinchliffe for more than 10 years. He deals solely with Claimant work.

"I have only ever wanted to assert the rights of the individual against big organisations in the state. I believe that, when an adverse outcome occurs, the least a patient is entitled to is a proper explanation. I get enormous satisfaction from successfully concluding cases not just so that my client receives their entitlement to compensation but also to deliver a sense of justice and in the hope that the standards of healthcare provision are driven up."
