Help when medical treatment or surgery goes wrong

Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel and APIL logos The Clinical Negligence Solicitors at Switalskis are experienced in handling medical negligence claims and helping clients to secure compensation that can make life easier when medical treatment has gone wrong. Our team includes members of the Law Society's Clinical Negligence Panel and APIL, the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

Our medical negligence solicitors can travel to many areas of North, South, and West Yorkshire, the East Riding and Humberside, where appropriate. They may also visit clients at home or in hospital.

Many people considering making a medical negligence claim are concerned about legal costs. We offer a free initial consultation, either in person or over the telephone, so you can find out whether you have a claim without worrying about the costs. If our specialist solicitors think you may have a claim, they will work with you to find the most appropriate way of funding your case. The funding options available depend on individual circumstances, but may include insurance you already hold, a special agreement with Switalskis or legal aid.

A caring approach to Medical Negligence cases

Financial compensation can provide some consolation following a medical accident, but at the same time our caring and understanding Medical Negligence solicitors never forget the human side of medical negligence. We know that an apology and a clear explanation of what went wrong can be essential to helping victims of negligent medical treatment to come to terms with what has happened. If you or a member of your family has been a victim of what you believe to be negligent medical treatment, we can offer a service that is tailored to your particular needs, including home or hospital visits from one of our specialist medical negligence solicitors, if appropriate.
