Dale & Newbery

Every year, many people are treated successfully by healthcare professionals although, sometimes, things may go wrong. In some cases this might be because the care has been substandard and, if so, it may be possible to make a clinical negligence claim.

Clinical Negligence claims span a variety of areas which may include Accident & Emergency, Birth Injury, Cerebral Palsy, MRSA, Clostridium Difficile (C-Dif), Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery, Delayed Diagnosis or Mis-Diagnosis, General Practitioner, General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Inappropriate and Mis-prescription of Drugs, Dental Treatment, Nursing Care, Orthopaedics, Spinal Injury, Stillbirth, Urology and more.

Clinical Negligence Law is an extremely complex area and specialist advice is essential. Dale & Newbery's Clinical Negligence Specialists comprise an experienced team, dedicated to helping victims of all types of medical accidents. We have the expertise to handle these often difficult cases in a sensitive and professional manner. The Clinical Negligence Team at Dale & Newbery include members of the Solicitors' Regulation Authority's Specialist Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury Panels and we will be happy to arrange for one of our team to give you free initial advice at our office or over the telephone; home visits can also be arranged if necessary.

At the first interview we will discuss the options for funding the claim which include:

• Any legal expenses insurance you may have;
• Public Funding (as Legal Aid is now called);
• Conditional Fee Agreement (also known as "no win no fee" agreement);
  
• Whether any other funding is available. 

This will let you decide which, of the options available, you would prefer.
