Clinical negligence is a complex, niche area of personal injury law, and so we are proud to name Judith Abram – a clinical negligence specialist – as one of our partners. Often referred to as medical negligence, this area of law covers accidents that occur when medical treatment, including dental or nursing treatment, goes wrong. As well as obvious physical accidents, such as paralysis, clinical negligence applies to brain damage and psychological injuries such as nervous shock.
Clinical negligence claims differ from other personal injury claims in that they generally require more in-depth, specialist proof of liability. The guilty party in a road traffic accident can often be quickly identified; in medical situations, the point of responsibility is often much more difficult to pinpoint. Consulting a panel of qualified medical experts, we get to the root of every issue, taking into account the wider implications of the negligence and ensuring that our clients’ needs are taken care of in the long as well as short term.
