Clinical Negligence - Midlands (Bar)

Band 2

What the Team is Known For

Kings Chambers is noted for its representation of both claimant and defendant clients in a wide range of clinical negligence disputes. A source notes that "Kings Chambers is happy to take a chance on a complex matter where prospects are unclear," and another adds its team has "an excellent skill set and great commercial awareness." The set's barristers regularly advise on some of the most complex and high-value matters including wrongful birth and birth injury claims, including complex cerebral palsy cases. The members are also regularly called upon to handle high-value claims arising from surgical negligence and delayed or missed diagnoses. Its involvement in Tracy Hurn and Alex Jones (on behalf of the Estate and Dependents of Jack Hurn, Deceased) v Anchor Medical Practice is particularly notable. This claim is believed to be the first worldwide in which a court determined the Astra-Zeneca COVID-19 vaccine caused the death of a patient.
