Clinical Negligence Solicitor - Medical Accident Solicitors - About Us
| 
| 
Clinical Negligence Solicitors
-
Our clients are people who have suffered injury as a result of a medical accident in the UK.
-
We guarantee that all our clients will have their case dealt with by a specialist solicitor who has chosen a career in compensation work for injured people. We do not do other sort of work.
-
Most cases we take on are won or settled out of Court with compensation paid to our clients.
-
We are committed to providing public funding (previously known as legal aid) and have a Franchise from the Community Legal Services Commission. This means they have looked at the firm carefully and approve of the way we work. They trust us to handle medical accident claims also known as clinical negligence claims properly. Not many firms have a Franchise since the criteria is high.
-
Many clients are not eligible for public funding since public funding is only available to those with very limited income and capital. If you are not eligible, we can offer a Conditional Fee Agreement with insurance or you may have legal expenses insurance. We shall check the best method of funding your claim.
-
All 3 of our offices (Liverpool, Manchester and Halifax) are accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
-
We only act for victims of medical accidents unlike other firms who also act for doctors and Hospital Trusts

Claire Horton qualified in 1990 and has worked almost exclusively pursuing clinical negligence claims since then. She has been a member of the Law Society and AvMA (Action against Clinical Accidents) panels for many years. Only a small number of solicitors in the country are members of AvMA.
She specialises in higher value cases and has successfully pursued a number where damages in excess of £1 million have been obtained.
Many of her cases are about injuries which have occurred to children in hospital. Damages have been obtained by Claire in a wide variety of such matters including those relating to mismanaged births where the injuries sustained can be very severe.
Claire is based at the Manchester office but represents people throughout the region.
Also Claire continues to practice as an Independent Funding Adjudicator for the LSC.
Also, Claire acts on a pro bono basis for AvMA Helpline and in addition to providing free initial advice to people seeking information about a potential clinical negligence claim.

When you contact John Pickering and Partners LLP about a clinical negligence matter, you will probably be asked to speak to Suzanne or another member of our clinical negligence team so that some important initial details about the case can be obtained by her. She will then arrange a time when a solicitor from our team can contact you to discuss the case further.
