Guides & information

If you, or a member of your family, feel that the medical or dental treatment you received from a medical professional fell below an acceptable standard and led to an injury, you may be able to make a claim for clinical negligence.

Legal action must begin within three years of the date that the incident occurred, or the date on which you had knowledge that you had suffered injury as a result of medical negligence.

Legal 500 Survey 2011 ranks the Clinical Negligence team in the First tier of South East law firms and describes the team as '"fantastic on all levels", and advises clients on a range of matters, including brain injury, birth accidents and complex delays in diagnosis claims.'
Blake Lapthorn has produced some handy guides which should provide useful support and guidance to clients with common Clinical Negligence related claims. In almost all cases a Medical Examination will be required to document the nature and extent of injuries suffered. You can find more information regarding general claim types on this web site but clients often find our general guide to Clinical Negligence Claims useful.

For injuries suffered as a result of clinical negligence take a look at our guide to Injury compensation and get some insight into who is likely to be responsible with our Liability in a clinical negligence claim guide. Lastly, we often find clients find it is better to know what will happen if court proceedings begin.

In addition, the links below to our affiliated partners web sites should provide you with useful support and guidance.
