What are the advantages of choosing a medical negligence solicitor who is a member of the Clinical Negligence Accreditation Scheme?
There are many advantages of choosing a medical negligence solicitor who is a member of the Clinical Negligence Accreditation Scheme including: 1. To give you the option to receive legal aid Legal aid can only be obtained from a firm that has what is known as a “legal aid franchise”. A “legal aid franchise” is granted to a firm that is assessed as having sufficient expertise to decide when a client should be entitled to make an application for legal aid to fund a medical negligence claim. Very few legal firms have such a franchise in the UK, but a firm cannot have a franchise unless at least one solicitor is a member of the Clinical Negligence Accreditation Scheme. 2. To give you the best chance of winning your claim Medical negligence can be quite complex and a lawyer who is a member of the Clinical Negligence Accreditation Scheme will be better able to fight your claim on your behalf and give you the best chance of success. It is incredible, but true, that many strong claims are lost
