Drummond Miller have a strong reputation as leaders in medical negligence law, with one of the largest and most specialised teams in Scotland. Liesa Spiller, Carrie Burrows and Lindsay Macdonald head the department in Edinburgh while Andrew Pollock and Susith Dematagoda lead the team in Glasgow. All have a wealth of experience and most are accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as specialists in medical negligence.
They have recovered millions of pounds in compensation for injured individuals and families in this complex and challenging area of law. The team has experience in achieving annual lifetime payments for clients and in recent years have secured some of the highest value settlements ever achieved in Scotland for birth damage and catastrophic injury cases in which clients each received a substantial seven figure lump sum as well as annual payments to pay for future care needs and treatment.
The team are sensitive to the individual needs of clients. Many of those who instruct the team feel let down by the medical profession and instructing another professional can be an anxious process. They are empathetic, offering each client a tailored service to meet the circumstances of his or her needs, being realistic in terms of timescales, outcomes and taking a pragmatic approach. We offer different funding models so individuals can pursue claims with no initial costs and at no financial risk.
