What is clinical Negligence? This is the first question that people often ask when making this type of personal injury claim. Clinical negligence or medical malpractice is where a medical practitioner or body has breached their duty of care to a patient, and this breach has lead to the person suffering pain in some way. The claim will be made for negligent treatment, meaning the way in which the care provided has either not been up to expected standards, or where it has made the patient worse. To be able to make a successful claim, your solicitor needs to prove the following three criteria.

1). That you were owed a duty of care as a patient.

2). That the defendant is in breach of their duty of care.

3). That this breach led to the person suffering harm in some way.

How Do You Choose The Best Clinical Negligence Solicitor In Tunbridge Wells

Finding the right solicitor to work with is probably the most important part of your overall claims process. Whilst all solicitors are regulated by the SRA (solicitors regulation authority) they are not all created equally, nor do they offer an equal level of service provision. There are various questions people often ask when choosing a solicitor for their claim, below we look at two of the most common.

Do I Need To Choose A Local Lawyer?

Working with a local lawyer is much less important than most people think about. Claimants often think that using a solicitor will involve having lots of meetings in person and visits to the solicitor’s offices. Whilst this may have been the case in the past it is not today and solicitors can keep in contact with you, ensuring you are up to date in a variety of different ways. What is much more important than where your solicitor is located, is that track record, experience and ability to handle your case.

Should I Read Solicitor Reviews

The simplest answer is yes. Reading reviews of different services is always an important step in ensuring that you are getting the service best able to meet your needs. Comparing reviews of solicitors is a great way to see if they would be able to meet all your needs, and get you a higher amount of compensation.
