Who Is The Right Solicitor For Your Medical Negligence Claim?

When considering a potential claim for medical negligence, it is crucial to carefully select the most suitable solicitor to represent your case. Choosing the right solicitor can significantly impact the outcome of your claim and ensure that your interests are effectively presented for.

In the past, individuals often had minimal interactions with solicitors, typically limited to situations like property transactions or estate planning. Consequently, it was natural for them to reach out to the same solicitor or law firm for guidance.

Medical negligence claims can be difficult and often require the expertise of specialists. It is important to engage with the help of a solicitor or firm with specialisation in medical negligence.

How can you tell if they are specialised?

Specialist solicitors often hold accreditations from reputable organisations such as Action Against Medical Accidents (AvMA) and the Law Society. These accreditations demonstrate their expertise and commitment to providing high-quality legal services in the field of medical negligence. One effective way to find specialists in your area can be done searching their website. The presence of accreditation badges on a firm’s website or other advertising serves as a reliable indicator of the firm’s experience and expertise in handling claims.

When engaging in an initial conversation with a solicitor, don’t be afraid to inquire about their experience with similar cases, their track record of success, the experts they plan to involve in your case, and the available funding options. Having both expertise and a solicitor you feel comfortable with and have confidence in is important for a successful legal experience.

Finding the right solicitor will help you to focus less on the case itself and more on your recovery.
