2. SPECIALIST PANELS
• Claiming for Medical Negligence can be very
stressful, not to mention time-consuming
• One of the hardest parts of the process is finding
the right Solicitor to represent you
• With so many seemingly ‘expert’ Solicitors and law
firms out there, how do you know which one to
choose?

3. MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE
• You may feel that you have been treated badly by
a Medical professional
• You may have sustained injury, disease, or lost
money as a result, you may be entitled to make
a Medical Negligence claim
• In this instance, you will need evidence, your
medical notes and records, and a qualified,
experienced lawyer to guide you through the
process

4. SOLICITORS AND MEDICAL
NEGLIGENCE PANELS
• To make sure that you appoint the right person for the job, you
should check that your chosen Solicitor is a member of one of
the two leading specialist Medical Negligence panels:
- AvMA (Action Against Medical Accidents); this is a charity whose main aim
is to keep patients safe and gain justice for those who have been wronged
by individuals in the Medical community.
- The Law Society; This panel runs the Clinical Negligence Accreditation
Scheme

5. WHY CHOOSE THESE SOLICITORS?
• Only the best Solicitors get accredited by these
panels
• Therefore, you can rest assured that if the Solicitor
you’ve chosen has been selected for one of these
panels, then they’re the real deal
• This area of law is highly specialised and you really
need to be careful when making your decision
about who to instruct

6. THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS
• The accreditation process for both of these panels is
extremely thorough and complex
• The Solicitor will need to go through a tough
assessment process in order to show that they have
a high level of competence in the field of Medical
Negligence
• They will need to find out if they are eligible to apply
and send in an application which is marked by an
expert assessor

Always seek professional legal advice from an
