When you place your health and wellbeing in the hands of a medical professional, you are entitled to expect the highest standards of care. For most patients, that is exactly what they receive. However, when mistakes occur through negligence and cause physical, psychological or financial harm, the impact can be life-changing.

Butcher & Barlow’s Clinical Negligence Team has extensive experience in pursuing complex and sensitive claims against healthcare providers, including GPs, hospital doctors, surgeons, nurses, and dentists. We are trusted by clients across the North West to provide clear, compassionate and commercially focused advice at every stage of the process.

Clinical negligence cases are often lengthy and challenging, requiring not only a deep understanding of the law but also meticulous attention to evidence and expert testimony. Our Team combines technical expertise with a sensitive, client-centred approach to secure the best possible outcomes. We work tirelessly to achieve maximum compensation as efficiently as possible, while guiding you through each stage with care and transparency.

We advise clients in a wide range of claims, including:

• Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis

• Surgical and procedural errors

• Birth injuries and maternity care failings

• GP and primary care negligence

• Dental negligence

• Fatal claims and inquests

We are open and realistic about prospects of success. If we do not believe your claim has merit, we will tell you from the outset. Where a case is viable, we will discuss funding options openly, including existing legal expenses insurance, purchased cover, and conditional fee agreements (no win, no fee) where appropriate.

With a proven track record in high-value and complex claims, our Clinical Negligence specialists are committed to delivering tailored, strategic advice that protects your interests and secures the compensation you deserve.
