Switalskis’ nationally recognised Clinical Negligence team advises clients on complex, high-value claims against NHS and private providers. The team is particularly known for catastrophic birth injury work, including cerebral palsy and hypoxic brain injuries, alongside cancer misdiagnosis, sepsis, surgical errors, and fatal claims. It also represents families at inquests and public inquiries, giving clients a voice where systemic failings are exposed.
The firm acts for a wide range of clients, including vulnerable children, families requiring lifelong care, and bereaved relatives. Recent highlights include a £21.6m award for a child with severe brain injury, a multi-million-pound settlement for a man injured at birth in Bradford, and ongoing representation for families affected by the Nottingham maternity scandal. The team is also leading group claims around mismanaged dopamine agonist medication.
