Cerebral Palsy Claim Preparation

Obtain medical records

Take detailed witness statements

Prepare a detailed chronology clearly identifying the differences between the medical records and witness statements

Obtain expert medical views on the care provided and if the standard care is criticised whether proper care would have avoided or reduced the extent of the injury

If the claim is very strong we can often liaise at this stage with the Defendants for judgment to be entered and a payment on account of compensation to be made

Discuss all the issues with a leading barrister, you, and the experts in conference

Put the claim to the Defendants

If the claim is accepted arrange for judgment to be entered, a payment on account of compensation to be made, and steps taken to maximise the quality of life of the injured person and reduce the strain on the family, also to assess the amount of compensation required for life.

If the claim is denied start court proceedings and set out a timetable leading to trial
