Clinical Negligence
We act for patients who have clinical negligence compensation claims because of sub-standard medical care. We realise that experience in medicine, nursing and science is important to our work and our medical and clinical negligence compensation team consists of lawyers and other staff with these backgrounds. Our solicitors have experience in most areas of medicine but specialise in severe medical injuries claims as a result of medical accidents.
The service Leigh Day & Co provided at such a difficult period in mine and the children's lives was impeccable. They were all truly professional but friendly and approachable. They all had time for us in their busy schedules and answered all our queries fully. It would be an honour to recommend them to anyone I came in contact with.
