Our surgical negligence services
Assessing your surgical negligence claim
Initially, we will invite you to share the details of the surgical incident and explain how it has impacted your life. Our expert team will evaluate your case, and if we determine that there is a reasonable likelihood of success, we will discuss the funding options and begin the surgery claims process with you.
Our compassionate surgical negligence compensation solicitors will assess whether the medical professionals involved breached their duty of care to you. Our stringent approach will pinpoint any failings in this standard that led to negligence and your resulting injuries.
Building your surgical negligence case
Building a case begins with collecting relevant evidence. Our expert surgical negligence solicitors in Brighton will obtain your medical records and explain each step of the claims process, always maintaining a sensitive approach to your situation.
We will then consult with specialist medical professionals relevant to your specific circumstances, to assess the full extent of your injuries and determine the impact of the negligence.
Submitting the Letter of Claim
One of our expert solicitors will draft a detailed Letter of Claim that outlines the allegations of negligence and sends it to the responsible party. This letter will explain how the injury might have been prevented had the appropriate standards of care been upheld.
If liability is admitted, our surgical negligence solicitors in Brighton will value the claim based on evidence and data to estimate the compensation you may be entitled to. Your surgical negligence lawyer may then arrange a formal assessment to determine the severity and impact of your injury.
Mediation process
Where liability is accepted, our surgical negligence solicitors in Brighton aim to reach a solution through the use of alternative dispute resolution methods, such as arbitration or mediation.
We strive to settle cases outside of court to save clients time, stress, and money, in what is already likely to be a time where tensions are high. However, if court proceedings become necessary and the merits in your case remain strong, our experienced team at Ashtons Legal will stand by your side.
