Where the injury or death was caused or contributed to by the breach of a duty of care committed in the course of the provision of clinical or medical services, including dental or nursing services, you and/or your child may be entitled to financial compensation for what is termed "clinical negligence", formerly - and often still - described as "medical negligence".You could, of course, instruct a solicitor to act for you in making a complaint only. Do not respond to advertising, whether on the internet, press, TV or radio.The quality of advice given by solicitors in this field varies enormously. There are, it is believed over 250 firms of solicitors on the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel. Our researches show that only a handful of firms, most of whom are our Subscribers, successfully handle the bulk of serious litigation in court.Figures from the Legal Services Commission and the National Audit Office , which only we have analysed and published, showed that in cases funded by legal aid some solicitors win over 70 per cent of their cases, while others lose around 80 per cent. If you, or your child, were injured by a medical blunder who would you want?But who are these winners? With a successful track record of litigating complex clinical issues? With access to eminent medical experts experienced in testifying before a judge - under hostile cross-examination? With innovative and creative financing arrangements to ensure that "no win" really does mean "no fee"? And, most importantly, with the knowledge and experience to negotiate a successful settlement, perhaps in a complex brain injury case with millions of pounds in future case costs at stake? Can anyone tell you? Certainly not the Law Society or Legal Services Commission!We can. Because we have been monitoring medical litigation for twenty years.
