Clinical Negligence

Linenhall Chambers barristers provide specialist advice and advocacy for injured people and their families and look after their wider holistic needs with respect to rehabilitation and care. We have a team of skilled advocates in the areas of high value and often complex medical litigation.

Linenhall chambers has a long history of supporting injured parties and their families in litigation of clinical negligence matters at both County and High Court level. These include negligent medical, dental, and cosmetic treatments along with failures to diagnose, consent issues, delayed diagnosis, wrongful birth, and complex multi-disciplinary clinical matters.

Our specialist barristers are passionate about helping our clients and will pursue claims in a caring, tenacious, and effective manner. Linenhall strongly value the early intervention of members in cases to ensure effective management and direction can be provided and problem areas can be addressed at an early stage.

We will always select the appropriate expert in their medical or scientific field to assist in the case adding value throughout the process. We also draw on Linenhall’ s extensive mediation experience to seek to explore, where appropriate, the conclusion of cases in a fair and transparent manner. Our accredited mediators and in house facilities allow us to provide this aspect of the service in a seamless manner for our clients.

Aligned to our mediation experts are our members who specialise in Public Law and Court of Protection, both support our Clinical Negligence team to ensure all aspects of the case are addressed by experts in their fields of law.

Linenhall has extensive experience of working with Legal Aid and Conditional Fee Arrangements and will seek to ensure that, whatever funding arrangement is in place, our client remains at the centre of all we do in what can be a very difficult and emotional litigation process.
