What this site is
Medical Negligence Guide explains how clinical negligence law works in England and Wales. Our aim is simple: help people harmed by medical care understand, in plain English, the legal tests involved, the time limits, the process, and where to go for regulated advice.
Who publishes it
This site is published by Edward & Amaury Solicitors (Edward & Amaury Limited, company no. 12195443), a firm of solicitors authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA no. 800525), based at Pacific House, Fletcher Way, Parkhouse, Carlisle CA3 0LJ. Edward & Amaury handle medical negligence claims, and we disclose the connection clearly because it matters. Reading this site, or using the eligibility tool, does not create a solicitor–client relationship — that only happens once you instruct a firm in writing.
How to get advice on your own situation
If you think you may have been harmed by medical care, contact Edward & Amaury directly on 01228 272395 or info@edwardamaury.co.uk. If you'd prefer another firm, two starting points:
- The Law Society's Find a Solicitor directory — filter by "Clinical Negligence" accreditation.
- Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) — a patient safety charity that maintains a specialist solicitor referral panel.
How content is produced
Guides are written and reviewed by The Medical Negligence Claim editorial team, operating under Edward & Amaury Solicitors, against primary sources: statute, case law, regulator guidance and the Civil Procedure Rules. Every page records when it was last reviewed and when the next review is due. See our editorial standards for the full policy.
