Choosing The Right Medical Negligence Claims Specialist

If you have chosen to claim compensation for harm caused by medical negligence, it can be difficult to know where to start. Many clients ask us “should I use medical negligence solicitors in my area to handle my claim?” and wonder if they need to read online solicitor’s reviews, to make an informed decision about which firm to use. We will look at this in more detail below.

Is The Location Of Your Solicitor Important?

There is a common misconception that if you live in Clacton-on-Sea, you have to use a medical negligence lawyer in Clacton-on-Sea or the Essex area, to handle your claim. It’s common for clients to ask us, “do I need to use a medical negligence solicitor near me?” to put it simply, you do not. You do not even have to use a solicitor to conduct your claim as you can make a claim on your own. In the past, people may have been more likely to use a local solicitors firm, because they were easier to reach. However, today its normal for firms to communicate with their clients remotely using phone or email, so location shouldn’t make a difference. Instead of worrying about location, we recommend that you prioritise finding a firm with a good track record of winning claims like yours and what payment options they offer, for example, do they offer the option to make a no win no fee claim.

Reviews Of Medical Negligence Solicitors Covering Your Area

When looking for a medical negligence solicitor, it’s normal to seek the opinion of others who have used a medical negligence solicitor previously, to see if they were happy with the service that they received. If you don’t know anyone who has made a claim for clinical negligence before, you could always try looking at medical negligence solicitor reviews online. Reading online medical negligence solicitor reviews will help you see if a firm’s previous clients were happy with the service they received and what types of claims they specialise in.
