About

Provided by Stewarts

Suffering serious injury as a result of medical treatment can be both traumatic and life changing. Our aim is to secure the best possible future for our clients and their families.

Unlike other law firms, we focus exclusively on claims involving serious injury, in particular spinal cord injury and brain injury.

Our lawyers understand how the failure to properly diagnose, treat or manage medical issues can lead to serious injury or death.

Our lawyers only handle a small number of cases to ensure that they give your claim the attention it deserves. Our goal is to help our clients lead full and active lives. 

We are ranked No.1 for clinical negligence in the leading legal directories. Our legal expertise and willingness to push boundaries has enabled our clients to win record-breaking compensation awards.

If you or a family member have been injured as a result of medical negligence or feel that you are not getting the specialist advice you require on an ongoing case then please contact us.
