Clinical Negligence | UK Bar

Scotland (Bar)

Advocates ranked in this section are instructed to handle allegations of negligent acts committed by professionals working in the healthcare or pharmaceutical sectors. These cases usually arise from accusations that the defenders did not follow accepted industry practices, leading to injury or death to the patient or pursuer. The section covers both those who represent the defenders or their employers and those who bring claims on behalf of individuals seeking compensation for their injuries. It focuses on cases arising in Scotland.
