Clinical Negligence: Mainly Claimant

About

Provided by Drummond Miller LLP

With one of the largest and most specialised medical negligence teams in Scotland, we have a strong reputation as leaders in a complex and challenging area of law. Liesa Spiller and Darren Deery head the department and have a wealth of experience with an excellent, enthusiastic and expanding team. Five of our solicitors are accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as specialists in medical negligence law – more than any other firm in Scotland.

We have recovered millions of pounds in compensation for injured individuals and families. The team has resolved cases at all levels and at varying degrees of complexity and value, and we have experience in achieving periodical (annual lifetime) payments for clients. In the last year, the team has secured two of the highest value settlements ever achieved in Scotland for birth damage cases. Our clients each received a substantial seven figure lump sum as well as annual payments to pay for future care needs and treatment.

We are sensitive to the individual needs of clients. Many of those who instruct us feel let down by the medical profession and instructing another professional can be an anxious process. We are empathetic and offer each client a tailored service to meet the circumstances of his or her needs. We try to be realistic in terms of timescales, outcomes and take a pragmatic approach. We offer different funding models so that individuals can pursue claims with no initial costs and at no financial risk.
