Making a clinical negligence claim if you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury, which you feel is the result of actions or neglect by a medical professional, can be a daunting procedure even for people who are familiar with completing administrative procedures to a high standard.
Although legal terminology is less formal than it used to be, such as a reduced use of Latin and courts where claimants and defendants are helped to follow what's happening, much of the law still requires an in-depth study of the exact meaning of words and those in the legal profession have trained for many years to understand how best to present an argument.
When a medical negligence claim is being considered, an experienced solicitor will have many tools' at his disposal to use for the benefit of his client.
He will know how and where to find expert witnesses, who are often crucial to the success of a case because of their knowledge of particular medical conditions and their consequences.
There have been calls in Parliament and the Press for the system of assessing blame and compensation to be speeded up to help those affected, especially the most severely disabled, in as short a time as possible so that they can get on with their lives.
With the complexity of some medical conditions, as well as the vagaries of the NHS complaints system, it can be as long as ten years before a claimant's case is finally resolved and a compensation payment agreed.
Having a proactive solicitor, who understands the detail and importance of a case, can be vitally important in achieving as fast a result as possible, giving a claimant the chance to be recompensed for the suffering which was not their fault.
In the case of permanent disablement, this can often mean a lump sum of money which can be used to move the victim into a specially-adapted home, suited to their physical limitations, and give them sufficient financial security to know they will always be able to pay for carers suitable to their needs.
For example, parents of a child who is born with severe cerebral palsy or similar condition, as a result of clinical negligence, will have the assurance that their child will be looked after when they no longer can.
