By your side when you need us
Many thousands of people receive medical treatment every single day. In most cases, this treatment is appropriate and effective, but, unfortunately, sometimes things can go wrong.
At Hay & Kilner, we have one of the leading Clinical Negligence teams in the North East of England, dedicated to helping victims of all types of clinical and medical negligence claims. Our dedicated team of specialists has been recognised as top- tier by The Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, both independently researched guides to the legal profession.
How can we help?
l We offer an initial free consultation with one of our expert clinical negligence lawyers to discuss your case and advise whether you have a claim.
l If you decide that you wish to pursue a claim, we’ll discuss what funding arrangements are available and, in appropriate cases, we can offer funding on a No Win, No Fee basis.
l We can obtain disclosure of your medical records and instruct independent experts to comment on the standard of the treatment you have received.
l We’ll contact the body that provided your negligent treatment to see if they accept responsibility for your injuries.
l If liability is admitted, we’ll obtain an interim payment of compensation on your behalf to pay for ongoing expenses and arrange appropriate rehabilitation.
l If we obtain supportive evidence from independent clinicians in respect of your claim, it is likely that your claim will settle and you will receive compensation without having to give evidence or proceeding to court.
l We will try to settle your claim where this is appropriate. However, there will be claims where there is not any agreement between the parties and we will issue court proceeding on your behalf.
l We’ll maximise the recovery of compensation on your behalf to ensure that you have access to quality services and guaranteeing you the best quality of life.
l You’ll normally have three years to make a claim, either from the date of your negligent treatment or from the date that you became aware that the alleged substandard care was responsible for your injuries.
Our team has been recovering compensation on behalf of our clients for decades with settlements ranging from tens of thousands to millions of pounds. We understand that bringing a claim can be stressful and are here to offer support and guidance from the outset, helping you every step of the way.
