2026 October - Successful Clinical Negligence Claim

Richard Evans - Litigation Assistant - handled the clinical negligence claim that I made sensitively and professionally in a timely manner. He ensured that I understood the procedures and kept me up to date with the case every step of the way, that was very important to me. I could not have hoped for anyone better to take me through this process. He achieved a successful outcome for my claim that was better than I had hoped for.

Good service

Legal processes are very drawn out which can be frustrating - but Richard was very good at relaying the information back in layman’s terms when he did have something to tell me

Thank you to Richard

Richard is an exceptional solicitor. Like many medical negligence cases, mine was far from straightforward. When I initially sought opinions and advice, I was told that I had little chance of proving what had happened to me. Richard took on my case and never stopped fighting for me. He kept going right to the end, despite the inevitable roadblocks and challenges that medical negligence cases involve. What I wanted most was recognition from the NHS that what had happened to me fell below the standard of care I should have received. Richard achieved that for me. He never gave up, even when the case became difficult, and his determination made an enormous difference. Most importantly, Richard is a kind, professional and deeply hardworking person. Throughout what was an incredibly difficult experience, I always felt that I was in safe and caring hands. I will always be grateful for everything he did for me.
