A clinical negligence solicitor usually needs to show that the healthcare professional owed you a duty of care, breached the required standard, and caused identifiable harm or loss. Medical records, appointment notes, test results, prescriptions and witness accounts may help establish what happened. Independent medical experts are often asked to assess whether the treatment fell below a reasonable standard and whether this probably caused your injury. You should also consider the relevant time limit, which commonly runs from the treatment or when you became aware of the problem. A solicitor regulated by the SRA can assess the evidence and explain your options.
