We could define the meaning of medical or clinical negligence to be a situation where a medical professional responsible for the health of a patient, has caused them harm due to error, oversight of lack of care. Medical negligence cases range in severity from fairly minor such as a person being given the wrong medication, to extremely serious, such as mistakes made during a surgical procedure resulting in the death of the patient. For every case of medical negligence, the following three facts must be true to make a compensation claim:

• The medical professional who caused the situation will have had a clear duty to safeguard the health of the patient.
• The medical professional will have failed to meet this duty of care in a way that had a negative impact on the health of the patient.
• The failure to meet the duty was avoidable in some way.

If the medical negligence you have suffered from fulfils all of the three requirements above, then contact Legal Expert now.

We offer a nationwide claims service to residents of Farnborough. We have a three-decade-long track record of winning difficult medical negligence cases, and we always aim to win our clients the maximum compensation possible.

How Do You Choose the Right Law Firm For Your Claim?

If you want to make sure you choose a good legal firm, then there are a few considerations you need to keep in mind. Firstly, does the solicitor have a proven track record of winning similar clinical negligence cases? Secondly, how does their fee structure work? Will you need to pay anything to begin your claim? Finally, will they arrange for additional local services such as getting a local medical opinion to support your claim?

A much simpler way to find a good solicitor without doing all the hard work yourself is to use the national claims service that Legal Expert operates in the Farnborough area.

If you would prefer to find your own solicitor, you will find a couple of tips below.

Do I Have to Use a Local Solicitor?

There is no advantage at all in using a local legal team in Farnborough. You can use Skype, email and web chat to keep in touch with your solicitor no matter where they happened to be located.

Should I Use a Solicitor Review Site?

If you can find some online reviews of any solicitors you are considering that have been published on a solicitor review site, these will provide a great starting point. Don’t rely on them to be entirely accurate. You should check the truth of the reviews by asking your friends and family whether they have used the specific legal firm, and does their experience match the review?

Asking Legal Expert for help is an easier option. Our legal team covers the Farnborough area and we can connect you with the best solicitor for your claim.
