About

Provided by Shakespeare Martineau

Clinical negligence is when a medical professional’s patient care falls below reasonable standards, and as a result causes harm to a patient. When medical mistakes occur, they can have devastating impacts on patients and their families, affecting not only their health but also their personal and working lives. That’s where our team of specialists can help. We have represented many people who have brought clinical negligence claims get the compensation and aftercare they deserve.

Our team of clinical and medical negligence experts will look to help ease the burden during this difficult time by also considering care plans, home adaptations, corrective treatments, counselling and rehabilitation where appropriate.
