We have particular expertise in claims arising in the following fields:

  • Surgical negligence 
  • Child medicine and paediatric
  • Inadequate treatment by GPs
  • Substandard care in accident and emergency

Clinical negligence cases are complex and should only be handled by specialist lawyers. Our highly experienced team are committed to offering a personalised service, tailored to our client’s needs.
