Personal Clinical Negligence

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur.

Our clinical negligence experts are all experienced solicitors who specialise in serious and complex negligence and injury claims. The department is recognised as one of the leading clinical negligence teams in Essex and London by The Legal 500 UK, an independent and definitive guide to the best law firms in the UK.

Being a patient under the care of a doctor, consultant or nurse is one of the few occasions where we unconditionally place our welfare and trust into the hands of another. Sometimes, however, mistakes are made. This could be as a result of a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, negligent surgery or aftercare, all of which can lead to extremely serious consequences. If a mistake is made, our medical negligence solicitors can help you obtain compensation to get you the help, support and long-term care or rehabilitation you may need. We know that money cannot bring back a loved one or always provide you with a full recovery, but financial assistance can give you the help that you may need going forward.

Our knowledgeable lawyers only undertake a select number of cases to ensure we provide a focused approach and proactive service to our clients. This enables our clients to obtain the very best medical care, rehabilitation and support available, as well as the maximum level of compensation so that our clients can move forward with their lives as quickly as possible.

Our clients come to us because of our solicitors’ reputation and expertise in this difficult area of law. We do not pay referral fees like some other firms.

  • Empathy-driven representation
  • Specialist expertise across all family matters
  • Accredited and recognised professionals
  • Clear, transparent fees
  • Client-focused approach
  • Strong negotiators, skilled litigators
  • Discreet and confidential support

Clinical Negligence FAQs

We understand you might be looking for answers to some unanswered questions so we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help get you started.

Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of?

Yes. There is the potential that you may be given very short notice of the divorce being submitted by your spouse as they now have 28 days to serve the respondent from the date they issue it.

Further, even though you may decide to apply jointly for the divorce, this does not guarantee you will continue as joint applicants in the divorce application. Perhaps because of further deterioration of the relationship with the other party, or where the other party is not taking the necessary action to progress the application, it is possible to ‘switch’ the application from joint to sole. This can only happen at conditional and final order application stage.

Lastly, it is important to remain fully aware of the timetable of the divorce so that you can protect your rights as a spouse, until you have a financial order in place.

What documents are needed for the divorce application?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi ac urna id nibh porttitor mattis. Duis sit amet sapien quis lectus facilisis maximus nec eget nunc. Morbi ut quam velit. Suspendisse nec metus efficitur lectus pharetra blandit a et nibh. Aenean suscipit vitae mauris at mollis.

Curabitur ex sem, elementum ut nisi sit amet, vehicula porta arcu. Donec nec justo erat. Proin convallis tellus eget odio molestie, sit amet pellentesque nisl lacinia. Quisque lacinia sodales arcu sit amet dictum. Donec ut porta elit. Vivamus ut ultricies quam, imperdiet lobortis augue. Donec sollicitudin nulla urna, ac porta arcu consectetur ac.
