Medical Negligence

Medical Negligence Solicitors

The medical profession usually provide a caring service with a high standard of excellence. However there are occasions when patients treated on the NHS or privately may be the victim of a medical accident. When that accident is attributable to incompetence or lack of care, it may be possible to bring a claim for clinical negligence compensation.

How can 1stClaims help me with my
Medical/Clinical Negligence Claim?

"My reason for contacting you was to help me find a solicitor to deal with a medical negligence claim. My previous solicitor no longer does this kind of work.

I can thoroughly recommend the services that 1stClaims offer for anybody who is seeking advice regarding medical negligence. The lady who took my details was very efficient and polite. Within hours I was phoned by a solicitor who you had recommended, and matters are now proceeding in a satisfactory way.

Before contacting you, I was apprehensive that I was not going to find anybody who would be able to help me in this specialised field.

The benefits of your service are the fast response, follow up and a good understanding of what is required.

I have complete confidence in recommending your excellent service.

I am actually a retired doctor and can understand whether the people with whom I am dealing have a clear knowledge of what is required. Before I rang 1st Claims, i contacted a marketing agency and was told:-

that as my claim was so old, it was time barred

they were unable to help as I had already been to another solicitor.

Both the reasons that I was given are completely wrong."
