Your medical malpractice lawyer

If you are thinking about bringing a clinical negligence case against a medical professional, a qualified medical malpractice lawyer must represent you. You should never attempt to represent yourself in these cases, as they are highly complex. Also, the court may not look positively on your case if you do not have qualified lawyer representing you.

It is important to note that personal injury solicitors that often work on a no-win, no-fee basis are not qualified to handle clinical negligence cases. Your medical malpractice lawyer must be recognised by the Law Society and be a full member of their clinical negligence panel. Or your medical malpractice lawyer must appear on the list that the Action against Medical Accidents charity maintains for anyone to view.

Your lawyer will have specialised skills that they can use to help you win your case. These skills start with a clear evaluation of your case and its likely success. Your medical malpractice lawyer can also help you with the cost of your case and with any application for legal aid if you qualify for this support. However, for medical negligence, legal aid will only be available if you meet the strict criteria.

A medical malpractice lawyer is also essential as your case can have many facets that could include potential criminal charges being brought against the healthcare professional that treated you. A medical malpractice lawyer is even more important if your claim for compensation involves a death.
