Clinical Negligence

Being a patient under the care of a doctor is probably the only occasion where an individual unconditionally places their entire welfare in the hands of another. What then happens if something goes wrong?

The members of injury+ are dedicated to helping victims of serious medical accidents who through no fault of their own have suffered physical and mental injury at the hands of those whom we all think of as the most trusted profession. Recovering sums of money can never properly compensate our clients for the grave harm they have suffered but bringing these cases to light will heighten patient awareness and continues to insure improvements in medical standards and treatment.

injury+ solicitors are Members of the Law Society's Clinical Negligence Panel, AMA referral panel (Action against Medical Accidents), APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers) and the member's firms hold a Legal Services Commission Franchise (formerly known as Legal Aid).

There is a misconception that the UK is following the USA and we are in danger of going 'litigation crazy'. In fact this is far from the truth. Out of 980,000 medical accidents causing injury in NHS hospitals only 1 in 400 patients made any claim.
