I lead the Clinical Negligence department at Higgs LLP and have over 16 years experience in dealing with complex clinical negligence claims. I have extensive experience of clinical negligence claims involving cerebral palsy, spinal injury and brain injury. I am particularly interested in cases involving a delay in diagnosing meningitis and loss of vision. I am sympathetic to the particular challenges of these injuries and will fight to obtain the best possible outcome. I am committed to engaging in rehabilitation to assist a client’s recovery from the earliest possible stage. I frequently make applications to court for large interim payments to ease the financial burden that a client may suffer following an injury and ensure that funds are available to purchase suitable housing, equipment and private therapies. I am one of a limited number of solicitors on the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel and I am an accredited supervisor for our Legal Aid Franchise. I am recognised in the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners legal directories as a leading Band 1 clinical negligence lawyer.

Clinical Negligence

Medical Negligence is emotional, Higgs LLP made it easier to endure

I felt utterly overwhelmed by my case, but with Higgs LLP, namely Clare Langford and Mia Clews by my side it made it easier to bear. With their guidance, support and professionalism throughout including their empathetic understanding. They were always available to talk and explain all of the legal technicalities. Thanks to their tireless persistence I, or should I say they have achieved a favourable outcome. I will be forever grateful for their dedication.

Clinical Neglegence Claim

I contacted Clare Langford on recommendation of a trusted family relation with regard to the untimely death of my wife. I found Clare and the communication from the team to be professional, timely, considerate, honest, and informative. I found Clare completely trustworthy and she remained aware of the mental difficulty my family and I were enduring. I have utterly no hesitation in recommending Clare and her company. You may ask or think that I'm doing this because of a large payout or full justice received. I say this because true character is shown when advice or action is given when it is not in the immediate financial interest of the person giving the advice, this was the case with Clare and the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the death of my wife. for this good advice and forbearance I shall be eternally grateful.

Clinical Negligence

Exceptional

We chose Higgs LLP to help us claim Clinical Negligence on behalf of our late father. From the very first meeting to the final day of settlement, the company have been absolutely excellent. They helped us understand the litigation process and kept us informed of progress every step of the way. Their support was not only professional but very caring and empathetic. We would not hesitate to recommend the team at HIggs LLP
