01 / YOUR SITUATION

Medical Negligence solicitors
in Belfast.

Concerns about medical treatment can be difficult to raise, especially while you are managing the effects on your health. We provide a space to explain what happened and the questions you want answered.

Concerns about medical care can be deeply distressing. We listen to your circumstances and explain the considerations involved in a potential clinical negligence claim.

02 / FOCUSED SUPPORT

Listening first. Examining carefully.

We discuss the treatment, the sequence of events and the outcome you are concerned about. Relevant records and correspondence help establish the background. We can explain what further assessment a potential clinical negligence claim may involve, including the need to understand both the care provided and the consequences.

  • Concerns about diagnosis or treatment
  • The sequence of care and communications
  • Information from records and complaints
  • The effect on health and daily life
  • Assessment of potential clinical negligence enquiries
03 / BEFORE WE TALK

A useful starting point.

You do not need to have everything ready before making contact. If available, the following information can help us understand your enquiry:

  • A timeline of appointments and treatment
  • The names of the organisations involved
  • Any complaint, response or correspondence
  • Details of the outcome and your current concerns

Mention any approaching dates when you call. For an urgent matter, telephone the office rather than relying on email.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Questions about getting started.

Every matter is different. We can discuss the details of your situation when you get in touch.

Ask us a question
01Can I enquire if I have already made a complaint?

Yes. Explain the complaint and provide any response you have received. That correspondence can help set out the background and the concerns you raised. We can discuss the separate questions involved in a potential legal claim.

02What happens at the first appointment?

We discuss your circumstances, review the information available and identify the questions that need attention. It is also an opportunity to ask about the proposed work, communication, likely next steps and costs before deciding how to proceed.

03How will costs and funding be discussed?

Ask about costs at the outset. The proposed arrangement will depend on the nature and scope of the work and your circumstances. We can discuss the basis of the work and any relevant funding questions before you instruct us.
