BONALLACK & BISHOP SOLICITORS

SPECIALIST PANELS

• Claiming for Medical Negligence can be very stressful, not to mention time-consuming

• One of the hardest parts of the process is finding the right Solicitor to represent you

• With so many seemingly ‘expert’ Solicitors and

law firms out there, how do you know which one to choose?

MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE 

• You may feel that you have been treated badly by a Medical professional

• You may have sustained injury, disease, or lost money as a result, you may be entitled to make a  Medical Negligence claim

• In this instance, you will need evidence, your medical notes and records, and a qualified, experienced lawyer to guide you through the process

SOLICITORS AND MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE PANELS

 • To make sure that you appoint the right person for the job,

you should check that your chosen Solicitor is a member of one of the two leading specialist Medical Negligence panels:

- AvMA (Action Against Medical Accidents); this is a charity whose main aim is to keep patients safe and gain justice for those who have been wronged by individuals in the Medical community.

- The Law Society; This panel runs the Clinical Negligence Accreditation Scheme

WHY CHOOSE THESE SOLICITORS?

• Only the best Solicitors get accredited by these panels

• Therefore, you can rest assured that if the Solicitor you’ve chosen has been selected for one of these panels, then they’re the real deal

• This area of law is highly specialised and you really need to be careful when making your decision about who to instruct

THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS

• The accreditation process for both of these panels is extremely thorough and complex

• The Solicitor will need to go through a tough assessment process in order to show that they have a high level of competence in the field of Medical Negligence

• They will need to find out if they are eligible to apply and send in an application which is marked by an expert assessor
