Clinical Negligence
The team at Christian Khan has dedicated the last 20 years to helping victims of medical accidents.
Louise Christian is a member of the Law Society's Clinical Negligence Panel. Josie Robinson and Bobby Walia both have considerable clinical negligence experience. The firm is a member of the AVMA Lawyers Service (Action for Victims of Medical Accidents) and all solicitors are members of APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers). We hold a Legal Services Commission Franchise for clincial negligence work, one of the selected firms of solicitors in the country with this award.
Our team have recently recovered damages on cases involving;
- Babies damaged by birth injuries (Cerebal palsy)
- Patients catastrophically injured by anaethestic accidents
- Misagnosis by GP's/ Hospital
- Unnecessary or poor cosmetic surgery
- Negligent dental treatment
- Sexual assaults on patients by staff
- Delayed diagnosis
We have a twenty year history of acting for bereaved families at Inquests relating to the death of persons detained under the mental health act including controversial restraint related deaths. We regularly act for people concerned about the quality of treatrment given to elderly relatives in care homes or in hospitals. We have acted on cases where doctors or nurses have acted inappropriately and reported matters to the General Medical Council or the police on behalf of vulnerable patients.
We regularly recover hundreds of thousands of pounds in damages for our clients each year. However, we recognise that the vast majority of treatment, private ot NHS, is good. In some cases however mistakes do happen and in such situations those injured or bereaved by malpractice deserve appropriate compensation. Clinical negligence claims are often not made as patients think that their treatment was a "one off" mistake or that the courts will never believe what they say or that they can't afford a court case.
We aim to resolve your claim as quickly as we can. We are able to act on your behalf with legal aid funding from the Legal Service Commission, with legal expenses insurance ( which may be part of your home contents cover) or on a no win no fee basis. We offer potential clients in appropriate cases a free initial appointment.
If you believe that you have a claim please complete the enquiry form below and we will respond to you as soon as we can.
