Clinical Negligence
Liverpool Civil Law’s specialist clinical negligence team provides expert representation in medical negligence claims, acting predominantly—but not exclusively—on behalf of Claimants.
Our barristers handle cases ranging from dental and cosmetic procedure claims to catastrophic birth injuries, surgical errors, and failures in diagnosis and treatment. We also act in claims against residential and nursing homes and provide representation at inquests.

We understand that clinical negligence cases are complex, sensitive, and often long-running. Our team works closely with instructing solicitors, offering pragmatic advice, strategic case management, and fearless advocacy at every stage of litigation. We are available for informal advice via phone or email and provide clear guidance throughout the process.
