Casualty

Clyde & Co have one of the largest and most highly regarded teams in the casualty and healthcare sector, providing a complete range of legal and claims services. Our team has extensive depth and breadth of experience and handles a diverse range of cases. Every day, organisations are exposed to incidents which could lead to an injury claim involving employees, members of the public, customers or contractors. Unfortunately some claims are also subject to fabrication, exaggeration and fraud.

Clyde & Co specialise in investigating and defending casualty claims and offer extensive knowledge of the liability issues that arise in particular sectors such as the public sector (including police forces), retail & leisure, construction, manufacturing and transport & logistics, among others.

Healthcare

The healthcare department undertakes a wide range of healthcare related and advisory work. Cases range in value from small to very high, are often of significant importance and range considerably in complexity. The majority of the team's work involves representing health care professionals and NHS Trusts facing clinical negligence claims through practitioners own private insurance/indemnity arrangements (such as GPs with MPS cover) or through the NHS Litigation Authority (for those working within the NHS).
