Medical negligence abroad
If you received negligent medical treatment abroad following an accident, or if you went abroad for clinical treatment that resulted in injury to you, contact us to discuss whether you can make a personal injury claim.
Blake Lapthorn solicitors has specialist personal injury and clinical negligence lawyers and a team dedicated to travel and holiday claims. These teams work together to achieve the best results for you when dealing with your personal injury or clinical negligence claim abroad.
Our specialist teams bring together expert knowledge of personal injury litigation in England and abroad via our holiday claim solicitors, language skills which enable us to talk directly to lawyers, doctors and insurers in other countries and medical knowledge from our medically qualified staff (John White, Jacqui O'Rourke and Patricia Wakeford) all of which enables us to investigate your claim quickly and thoroughly.
First we listen to your account of the medical treatment you received, and the injuries you have suffered. We will also involve our medically qualified staff in assessing your prospects of bringing a successful claim. Then we assign a lawyer, or team of lawyers, to your case.Our initial work sets out to establish the strength of your case and whether a claim is likely to be successful. It involves gathering evidence including medical records, and a report from a medical expert. If we can establish there was a breach of duty by the medical personnel caring for you, and that you suffered injury because of that breach, we can proceed with your claim.
The claim will normally be brought in the country where the medical treatment was received. Our foreign language abilities, including fluent French, Spanish and German, and international network of agents, TAGLaw, enables us to pursue claims abroad efficiently and effectively.
Once you have realised that the clinical treatment you received has caused you injury, it is vital that you start proceedings as soon as possible because the time limits vary, depending on the country in which the claim is brought.
We will discuss all funding options with you, most personal injury claims can be pursued at no cost to you. You may have legal expenses insurance on your travel insurance, house insurance, or on your car insurance. Trade union membership sometimes includes legal expenses insurance. Alternatively, your claim may be eligible for our ‘no win no fee’ arrangement.
