Medical Negligence Claims
Medical negligence * (also known as clinical negligence) is a term used to describe a situation where a patient sustains personal injury * as a result of an error made by a medical practitioner/professional.
In most cases, medical professionals are dedicated, diligent and practice in a safe manner. However, if this standard falls below that which is expected and required then you may have a case to claim for medical negligence*.

Road traffic accidents can be traumatic and life-changing events. They can occur in a variety of circumstances, including car, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents.
