Our editorial team
All guides on this site are produced by The Medical Negligence Claim editorial team — the in-house legal writing team at AAA Solicitors, focused exclusively on UK clinical negligence law and patient safety. Content is reviewed by practising clinical negligence solicitors at the firm before publication.
Sources we use
- Primary statute: principally the Limitation Act 1980, Mental Capacity Act 2005, Data Protection Act 2018, UK GDPR, the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, the Compensation Act 2006, and the Conditional Fee Agreements Order 2013.
- Case law: leading authorities including Bolam v Friern Hospital Management Committee [1957], Bolitho v City and Hackney HA[1998] and Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board [2015].
- Procedural rules: the Civil Procedure Rules and the Pre-Action Protocol for the Resolution of Clinical Disputes.
- Regulator and public-body guidance: the Care Quality Commission, NHS Resolution, NHS England, the General Medical Council, Solicitors Regulation Authority, and the relevant ombudsman services across the four UK nations.
Our review cycle
Every article is reviewed at least every six months, and immediately whenever a change in primary law, case law or procedural rules makes a review necessary. The most recent review was completed in April 2026; the next is scheduled for October 2026. Each page records its own review date individually.
What we will not publish
- Promises of compensation amounts, "guaranteed wins", or success rates.
- Comparison tables ranking law firms.
- Sponsored content, paid placements, or affiliate links.
- Personal stories presented as case studies without explicit, written consent from the individuals concerned.
- Statistics without a named, dated source.
Corrections policy
Errors of law or fact are corrected as soon as they are identified. Material corrections are noted at the foot of the affected article and the "last reviewed" date is updated. We welcome corrections from readers, practitioners and academics alike — please use the contact route on our About page.
Independence of content
Although these guides are published by AAA Solicitors, we treat them as reference material rather than marketing. We do not publish league tables ranking firms, fabricated case studies, or guarantees about compensation outcomes. Where the firm is named, it is identified as the publisher.
