Our medical negligence services

 

Hugh James personal injury lawyers:

  • assist some of the 700,000 or so people who are injured each year and wish to seek compensation for their losses – and we can assist those who have been injured and who could claim but feel unable to.
  • investigate each potential claim thoroughly and offer early and ongoing assessments as to the prospects of success in your claim and the likely level of compensation and other remedies you may be entitled to.
  • help clients who have suffered relatively minor injuries and those who have had the misfortune to suffer catastrophic and life changing injuries.
  • work to the highest service standards so that we conclude your case as quickly as possible with the right remedy.
  • work on conditional fee agreements so that if we don’t win your case there is no bill to pay (if we do win it your opponent will pay). 

Compensation for loss of earnings or other debt as a result of injury

People who are injured as a consequence of a medical accident are often unable to return to work. Sometimes their relatives have to give up their job to look after them. Money pressures can lead to debt and related problems. We can advise on how to claim compensation for loss of earnings, pension and other out of pocket expenses as well as compensation for the cost of paid care, domestic assistance and new accommodation all made necessary by the medical accident.
