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.
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.
A professional and caring service is provided by two partners, experienced in dealing with complex and disputed cases. John Pollitt, who is the head of the team, is a member of Action Against Medical Accidents Referral Panel and an accredited member of the Solicitors Regulation Authority Medical Negligence Panel. These are marks of his specialist skills and commitment to this area of work. The team also includes a Claims Investigator who was formally a nurse with a healthcare trust who worked for many years in the NHS.
