our approach to your clinical negligence
claim
First we listen to your account of the medical treatment you
received, and the injuries you have suffered. We
will also involve our medically qualified staff in assessing your
prospects of bringing a successful claim. Then we assign a lawyer,
or team of lawyers, to your case.
Our initial work sets out to establish the strength of your case
and whether a claim is likely to be successful. It involves
gathering evidence including medical records, and a report from a
medical expert. If we can establish there was a breach of duty by
the medical personnel caring for you, and that you suffered injury
because of that breach, we can proceed with your claim.
where will the claim be brought?
The claim will normally be brought in the country where the
medical treatment was received. Our foreign language abilities,
including fluent French, Spainish and German, and
international network of agents, TAGlaw, enables us to pursue
claims abroad efficiently and effectively.
how quickly should I claim?
Once you have realised that the clinical treatment you received
has caused you injury, it is vital that you start proceedings as
soon as possible because the time limits vary, depending on the
country in which the claim is brought.
funding your claim – the best option for
you
We will discuss all funding options with you, most personal
injury claims can be persued at no cost to you. You may have legal
expenses insurance on your travel insurance, house insurance, or on
your car insurance. Trade union membership sometimes includes legal
expenses insurance. Alternatively, your claim may be eligible for
our ‘no win no fee’ arrangement.
