Claims Against Doctors and Health Professionals

Our Services

Work with Our Medical Negligence Specialists in Leamington Spa and Warwickshire

At Blythe Liggins, we understand the trust you place in your doctors. When that trust is breached due to negligent medical care, the impact on your health and well-being can be significant. Our specialist solicitors provide expert legal support to individuals across Warwickshire and throughout the UK who have suffered harm as a result of medical negligence by doctors.

Navigating a medical negligence claim against a doctor can be complex and emotionally challenging. We are here to guide you through every step of the process with sensitivity and expertise, ensuring your concerns are heard. We strive to achieve the justice and compensation you deserve.

We believe that your financial position should not prevent you from receiving compensation, so if you have suffered medical negligence and you need support making a claim, we offer initial advice at no cost. If we feel that your claim is likely to be successful, we offer a ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement so that a lack of funds will never prevent you from making a claim.

You generally have 3 years within which to pursue a claim either from the date of negligence or from the date you first suspected that negligence may have occurred, but time limits vary and so taking early, expert advice is important.
