We have a large team of experienced practitioners in personal injury and clinical negligence litigation. Personal injuryMembers of the Personal Injury Group conduct cases at every level from the simplest to the most complex, high-value claims. Clients include both claimants and defendants, generally insurance companies. Most members will act under conditional fee arrangements in appropriate cases. PI NewsThe PI group maintains an e-mail mailing list for our professional clients to distribute current awareness information. To ask to join the mailing list, please use the application form. Cyrus Katrak maintains the Personal Injury Website. Clinical negligenceMany members of chambers have experience in clinical negligence. We are able to offer expertise over the whole range of clinical negligence cases, including surgeons and hospital physicians, general practitioners, dental surgeons, nurses and midwives and other healthcare specialisms such as ophthalmics. Barristers in chambers have acted in heavier clinical negligence matters such as brain damage cases and are familiar with claims which include Court of Protection and receivers' fees. We are experienced in cases at all levels of seriousness.
