Can a clinical negligence solicitor give online advice about whether I may have a medical negligence claim?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

Yes, many clinical negligence solicitors offer an initial assessment online or by telephone, using information about your treatment, injury and relevant dates. They may explain whether your circumstances could indicate a breach of duty and avoidable harm, but a formal view usually requires medical records and independent expert evidence. Keep copies of correspondence, records and details of what happened, and be aware that strict time limits can apply, often three years from the incident or knowledge of the injury, subject to exceptions. Consider checking advice with a solicitor regulated by the SRA.
