How Do I Know When I Have A Valid Medical Negligence Claim?
Every successful claim for clinical negligence compensation has three things in common, and these are:
- The doctor who caused harm to the patient had a duty to safeguard the patient’s health.

- The failure in duty could have been avoided in some way.
If the above facts fit with your own situation, then you should contact Legal Expert today. Our national claims service is available to people in Walton-on-Thames and can help them gain the maximum amount of compensation possible.
