First Principles

Medicine is a complex area, where opinions often differ, and therefore giving plenty of scope for argument on both sides. For this reason it is essential you use a lawyer who is experienced in this type of case. They will be used to the complexities of the issues involved, the terminology, the procedures and will have the relevant medical and legal knowledge and contacts to ensure your case is thoroughly investigated and pursued. We have found time and time again that whether or not a case can be established and successfully pursued depends upon the way in which the issues are explored with the independent medical specialist. By identifying the critical “right” questions, we believe we can get to the crux of whether your claim is likely to succeed at an early stage. There is considerable skill involved in identifying these issues. Apart from this, by using a firm experienced in this area of the law, you can “tap in” to our experience through the cases we have handled in the past. This is of enormous benefit with understanding the applicable medicine, familiarity with medical experts in the area and the use of our past case knowledge. All of this results in a faster and fairer result for you, at lesser cost.
