Medical Negligence Department at CLS

Everyone expects to receive good safe care from the NHS, but incidents do occasionally happen.
Sometimes these are avoidable, sometimes they are not. Medical negligence arises when the
mistakes are avoidable. The standard test is whether the treatment provided was poorer than
should have been expected from another reasonably competent clinician in the same field of
medicine, for example surgery or nursing.
Unfortunately when medical mistakes do happen the results are often devastating.

At CLS our experienced team are Medical law specialists. The team only act for Claimants and
are dedicated to providing a client care centred high level of service, providing the best possible
advice and maximising damages. Central to the ethos of the department is the quick and early
management of expectations.

The team acts on a large number of fatal and high value cases. The department regularly advise
on cases with a valuation exceeding 100,000. If you want to discuss a new enquiry, please feel
