Each year millions of us in the UK will receive medical treatment. In almost all cases treatment will be provided with thought and care and be of a high standard. In a small but significant number of cases patients are injured by health carers and sometimes they die as a result.

At this site Tim Spring, a solicitor with experience in investigating hundreds of medical accidents, and who acts for patients and their families, explains the key components of a claim for compensation, the circumstances in which a claim may be made and how the value of claims are calculated. Tim also explains the process of obtaining compensation, the cost involved and the available funding options.

Tim believes that a well informed client can provide information of a high quality, ask more focused questions and cut legal costs by reducing the time spent in the process of supplying and receiving information. A well informed client can also do much of the work which it is then not necessary for a lawyer to do.
