Clinical Negligence Videos

Have you or a loved one suffered due to negligent or substandard medical treatment? If so, you may be entitled to compensation. In most cases, you have up to three years from the date of the incident – or from when you first realised something was wrong – to settle your claim or begin court proceedings. But going to court isn’t always necessary. Many clinical negligence claims are resolved through negotiation. And even if court proceedings are issued, there is often an opportunity to reach a settlement before the case goes to trial. At Duncan Lewis Solicitors, our experienced clinical negligence team is dedicated to fighting for the rights of every client. We aim to make the claims process as clear, straightforward and stress-free as possible – whilst working to maximise the compensation you receive. Compensation in clinical negligence typically falls into two main categories: - General Damages: For pain, suffering, and the long term impact on your physical or mental health - Special Damages: To cover financial losses, such as lost earnings, medical expenses, travel to appointments, and the cost of any care provided by family or professionals. If your injury has long-term or life-changing consequences, you may also be entitled to claim for future loss of earnings, ongoing care costs, and home adjustments to support your recovery and independence. Our specialist team will guide you every step of the way, ensuring you fully understand your options – and helping you secure the compensation you deserve.
