Medical & Clinical Negligence Solicitors

Our lawyers are experts in justice for families affected by medical and clinical negligence.

Talk to us

Our solicitors act for a wide range of clients who seek representation to claim against healthcare providers such as GPs, NHS trust and private hospitals, doctors and surgeons, dentists, pharmacists, opticians and care homes. 

It can be daunting to approach a solicitor when something has gone wrong with your medical treatment.

The first thing that we want to do is to help you get through the treatment and rehabilitation process by ensuring that you're receiving the right support. We're then on-hand to help you to navigate the legal process.

While pursuing a claim will often be the last thing on your (and your family’s) mind, doing so can lead to you receiving the essential treatment, care and support you need to recover and rebuild your life. Compensation awards can be crucial for securing future financial security and independence.

This is usually a traumatic and life-changing time — and you need someone on your side to offer guidance for what comes next.

Our warm and friendly medical negligence solicitors have many years of knowledge and experience in dealing with all kinds of claims, helping clients to achieve the very best financial outcome. We're accredited in medical negligence by the Law Society.

We can sensitively and thoroughly analyse your case to determine its strength and support you throughout every step of the legal process.

  • Support you in the immediate aftermath.
  • Guide you through the early stages of recovery.

Accredited, experienced, award-winning clinical negligence solicitors

When our clients make initial contact, they want to be put at ease before entrusting us with their case at a time when they feel vulnerable and let down. It's in our nature to reassure and ease the pressure while supporting you to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your loved ones.

Our team is led by the highly experienced Fiona Tinsley — a Law Society Panel Accredited Solicitor with a strong background in medical law and analysis of evidence. 

Fiona works alongside our wider team that includes Solicitors Andrew Tindall and Laura Earps as well as Paralegal Becky Addison.

We’ll strive to help you take back the control you had before the negligence occurred by pursuing justice through the legal system. We do this by working closely with a number of suitable and reliable experts to identify the areas that you consider to be key in helping you to ‘be you’ again.

We ensure that we only have a small caseload to focus maximum attention on the needs of our clients.

I’ve found Fiona [Tinsley’s] attention to detail and compassion towards my being and case astonishing, to a level above and beyond what most would present. Fiona finally concluded my case, negotiating a substantial settlement on my (and my wife’s) behalf, helping to secure our future. I view Fiona as such an asset to your business. If ever asked, I would happily recommend Fiona and Brabners in regard to any clinical negligence claim in the future. You could not get a better service.

Anonymous client 'MP'

Firstly, l would like to thank you for your persistence and hard work on behalf myself and the girls. We can now have closure on what happened and at least some admittance was better than none. I just hope it doesn't happen to anyone else... It has been a long and tough road, but you have been caring and very easy to talk to and always had time to answer my questions. I will definitely recommend your services if the need arises in the future to friends and family.

Anonymous client 'JH'

Thank you' is just not enough to express my gratitude. You are a lovely person with a kind heart and you have helped me more than you know. I’m proud to be a part of the NHS and it truly saddened me that I had to consider taking legal action against an industry that I love, but you helped me understand how to channel those feelings in the right way. You have been a part of my life intimately, talking about issues that are very personal… I really can’t say ‘thank you’ enough.

Anonymous client 'TC'

Many thanks again for the fresh and professional you have taken to my claim. It has clearly made the difference that was needed and got things over the line.

Anonymous client 'JC'

I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received from Becky Addison. She took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, patiently listening to all my concerns and questions and providing clear, insightful explanations every step of the way. Her communication skills were outstanding, ensuring that I was always kept informed of developments and promptly responding to any questions I had. Thanks to Becky's expertise and unwavering support, we were able to achieve a favourable outcome in my case, exceeding my expectations. I'm immensely grateful for her guidance and representation and I wholeheartedly recommend Becky and Brabners to anyone in need of legal assistance.
