Clinical Negligence

Crown Office Chambers has an established reputation in all forms of clinical negligence, medical law and disciplinary work. Members of Chambers act for Claimants, NHS bodies including health authorities and trusts, private hospitals and their insurers, and medical defence organisations.

Chambers is included in the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners directories as one of the “Leading Sets” in the field of clinical negligence. Many of those who practise in this field are identified individually in the directories as highly regarded.

Established Expertise

Clinical negligence and all other aspects of medical law are undertaken at Crown Office Chambers. This includes not only claims for damages in, for example, the most devastating of birth injury cases and claims for fatal injuries but extends to the regulation and employment of doctors and other health care professionals and the regulation of the establishments in which they work.

Cases for Claimants are undertaken on the basis of public or private funding or under conditional fee agreements.

Members of Chambers have extensive experience of all types of clinical claims, in particular high value claims involving brain damage suffered around the time of birth; delay in the diagnosis of cancer; spinal and orthopaedic surgery; paediatric cases; psychiatric cases and plastic and cosmetic surgery.

In the regulatory field, members of Crown Office Chambers undertake professional disciplinary work both before statutory regulatory bodies and at internal inquiries. The regulatory work includes the regulation of organisations providing health care services. Members of Crown Office Chambers are regular speakers at seminars and conferences on medical law topics.

Members are extensively involved in ADR work, and offer a comprehensive mediation service for those using mediation to resolve their disputes. The ADR facilities at Crown Office Chambers are particularly well suited to mediation, with a fully equipped suite of rooms, support staff, and state-of-the-art video conferencing equipment.
