Clinical Negligence
Most of us receive first-class healthcare when we go into hospital or have to see the doctor. Healthcare standards in Britain are very high. However, sometimes things can go wrong, even in the best of hands. A symptom may be overlooked, a diagnosis may be missed, a course of treatment may not have the desired effect. Very occasionally errors by healthcare professionals can cause serious injury to the patient. There may be long-term adverse effects, such that the patient can no longer continue at work or requires support with care from other people. In cases of severe injury, compensation may be needed for long-term financial security, so that you know that your needs, or those of a loved one, will be met into the future.
The independent guides, the Legal 500 and Chambers’ Guide to the Legal Profession, rank Lester Morrill’s clinical negligence team among the leaders in Yorkshire. The Legal 500 has said that “Lester Morrill has a magnificent reputation”.
Julia Morrill, Susan Bartfield and Charles Gillott all have many years of experience in representing people in claims for damages against doctors and hospital trusts. Fiona Borrill is a nationally recognised expert in the law relating to inquests.
The team includes members of both The Law Society and AvMA clinical negligence panels. The firm has a Legal Services Commission specialist quality mark for clinical negligence work and can therefore obtain legal aid for eligible clients.
