At Forbes Solicitors, we understand that clinical negligence can have life-changing effects and can, in some cases, result in a fatality. Our compassionate and friendly solicitors will be with you every step of the way throughout the entire process of your case, no matter how complex it gets.

Our medical negligence lawyers will work tirelessly to investigate your claim and put together the evidence needed. The clinical negligence claims process can be long and complex and the amount of time that a claim will take will depend on the specifics of each case. For a claim to be made, clinical negligence claimants must prove liability and causation (avoidable harm.) A claim also has to be made within three years of the date of the incident.

Forbes Solicitors have been involved in a number of high-profile clinical negligence cases. One of our biggest was in 2017, when we secured a multi-million-pound settlement for a little girl who has cerebral palsy as a result of a birthing injury.

This was not the first case where we have won a substantial pay-out for clinical negligence. Our team won lifelong support for the family of a girl with a severe form of brain injury. Leona suffered brain damage at the hands of medical professionals during her birth and now requires round the clock care. Forbes has been involved with the family for over 15 years and continues to be a court-appointed deputy, overseeing the use of funds. The compensation Leona's family received has meant they were able to purchase a home that works for Leona's ongoing needs, as well as ensuring she receives all the care she requires.
