Medical Malpractice

This is often a difficult area of law for injured parties to obtain professional help.

• Unhappily for some medical patients negligence does occur. Professional legal and medical advice is required to assess a claim.


• Claims are strongly defended by the medical insurer and costs can be substantial. It is usual to consider the nature and extent of loss before Court action begins.


• An early expert opinion as to causation of loss and failure of the treating medical professional to adhere to the required standard of care is required.


• In many cases it is necessary to consider whether appropriate medical warnings of risk were given to allow the patient to give informed consent for the medical procedure.


• Take legal advice early and call before any limitation period may act to extinguish your claim.
