Clinical & Medical Negligence Claims

If you are a victim of medical or clinical negligence our highly experienced team of solicitors at Lanyon Bowdler can assist you in the event you wish to complain or seek compensation. For legal advice on making a clinical or medical negligence claim please contact Paula Nash, Head of Clinical Negligence or one of her team on 0800 954 9936.

We will all receive medical treatment during our lifetime. Thankfully, the vast majority of the time, such treatment is provided to a high standard. Some people, however, have the misfortune to become the victim of a medical accident. Things can and do go wrong. So what happens if you have been misdiagnosed, misprescribed, or mistreated? What if you are the victim of clinical negligence?

Our medical/clinical negligence solicitors have acted in a variety of cases, some involving large amounts of compensation being recovered (eg £3.9 million for failing to diagnose meningitis and £2.5 million for birth related cerebral palsy). Our solicitors have considerable experience in working with individuals and families facing the aftermath of all types of medical and clinical accidents.

Recovering sums of money might never properly compensate you for the harm you have suffered. But by bringing these cases to light it will help ensure continual improvements in medical standards, it may help prevent similar mistakes happening again, and it needn't be a stressful experience.

As members of Headway - the Brain Injury Association Personal Injury Solicitors List, we offer considerable expertise in the area of brain injury. We are also members of the Law Society's Panel of Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury Solicitors.

The Clinical Negligence Department has been awarded a Specialist Quality Mark by the Legal Services Commission, and holds a contract to offer publicly-funded legal services (formerly called Legal Aid) to clients. This prestigious appointment reflects the high level of experience within our Clinical Negligence Department.

The Clinical Negligence Department offer a FREE 30-minute initial consultation and home and hospital visits. We also offer a wide range of funding options to include public funding and conditional fee agreements (otherwise known as “no win no fee” agreements).
