Why this site exists
Patients harmed by clinical care are often hit twice — first by what went wrong medically, and then by the wall of confusing, sales-led legal content waiting for them online. Medical Negligence Claim was built to fix that second problem. Every page is written to explain the law as it actually stands, in language a non-lawyer can read once and understand.
What we are not
We are not a law firm. We do not employ solicitors. We do not take instructions, sign retainers, run cases, or act in any capacity for individual claimants. We do not operate a referral arrangement with any law firm and we do not earn a commission for sending readers to any solicitor. Where we name the Law Society or AvMA, that is because they are the established UK starting points for finding an accredited specialist — not because we receive anything in return.
How content is produced
Articles are drafted, reviewed and updated by The Medical Negligence Claim editorial team — a small in-house panel of writers and researchers who specialise in UK clinical negligence law. Every page is built against primary sources: statute, case law, regulator guidance and Civil Procedure Rules. Every page records when it was last reviewed and when the next review is due.
Editorial standards in short
- Every legal proposition is anchored to a primary source.
- Statistics are quoted from named, dated reports — or omitted.
- We avoid emotive marketing language and "guaranteed" claims.
- We distinguish settled law, current practice, and our own commentary.
- Every page carries a "last reviewed" date and a "next review" date.
Our full standards are published on our editorial standards page.
Corrections
If you spot an error — particularly a misstated statute, miscited case, or outdated procedural rule — please tell us. Corrections are made promptly and the "last reviewed" date on the relevant page is updated to reflect the change.
Funding
The site is independently funded. It does not run advertising, sponsored content, paid placements, or affiliate links. It does not sell or share reader data — it does not collect reader data to begin with.
