Medical Negligence Solicitors

Our medical negligence solicitors ensure that clients wishing to make a compensation claim for clinical negligence (also known as medical negligence) are always handled sympathetically. We understand how it feels to be let down by a medical professional  and then have a stranger represent you.

Solicitor Denise Broomfield is a member of the Law Society’s Clinical Negligence Panel and the Action against Medical Accidents panel, a Spinal Injuries Association Approved Solicitor and has 13 years specialisation in clinical negligence compensation.

Our Solicitors handle medical  negligence compensation claims throughout Wiltshire, Hampshire, Somerset, Dorset, Berkshire and Gloucestershire.

Contrary to claims companies advertising, getting medical negligence compensation is not easy. Medical negligence is a highly specialist area of law. It is essential that you have a specialist and accredited medical negligence solicitor who will listen to you and clearly explain both how your claim is progressing . If you have suffered an injury due to medical negligence, sadly  you are not alone. Remarkably there are approximately 850,000 medical accidents in UK hospitals annually, half of which were avoidable.

Our medical negligence solicitors understand how traumatic  a medical accident is for you and your family,  when after trust ing medical professionals, you end up a victim of clinical negligence. Whilst no money can ever fully compensate medical negligence victims, we believe that bringing these claims forward helps improve medical standards and raise patient awareness. Our medical negligence solicitors will do their utmost to ensure you receive fair compensation.

Funding for medical negligence claims

We are one of only around 160 Solicitors firms holding a Legal Services Commission (legal aid) franchise for medical negligence claims - so if you receive a low income or benefits we are one of few law firms approved to bring your medical negligence claim. Our solicitors can tell you if you qualify for legal aid.

Our medical negligence solicitors also conduct medical claims on 'no win no fee' agreements – read more about 'no win no fee' claims.
