1. Information only — not legal advice
Medical Negligence Guide is an educational website about clinical negligence law in England and Wales. Nothing on this site is legal advice on your individual circumstances. Reading, using, or interacting with any part of this site — including the eligibility information tool — does not create a solicitor–client relationship.
2. Who publishes this site
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), and handles medical negligence claims. Where a page recommends contacting a specialist solicitor, that includes Edward & Amaury — we disclose the connection so you can weigh it accordingly. A solicitor–client relationship, and any obligation to pay fees, only arises once you separately instruct a firm in writing.
3. The eligibility information tool
The eligibility tool on this site is an educational aid. It walks you through the same legal tests a solicitor would consider, but it cannot evaluate your medical records, review witness evidence, or give you a reliable answer about your own case. Its output is a prompt to seek regulated legal advice — never a substitute for it.
4. Get regulated advice for your own situation
If you think you may have been harmed by medical care, contact a solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority — including, if you wish, Edward & Amaury Solicitors directly. You can also find or verify a firm independently via the Law Society's Find a Solicitor directory or through AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents).
5. Accuracy
We take care to ensure the information published is accurate at the date of last review. The law changes; case law develops; procedural rules are updated. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for losses arising from reliance on information published here without first obtaining regulated advice on the specific facts of your case.
6. External links
Where we link to external sites — for example legislation.gov.uk, BAILII, NHS Resolution, the Law Society, AvMA, or the Solicitors Regulation Authority — we do so because they are authoritative UK sources. We do not control external content and are not responsible for it.
7. Intellectual property
All written content, design and code on this site is © Medical Negligence Guide and is protected by UK copyright. Short extracts may be quoted with attribution and a link back; please do not republish whole pages without permission.
8. Governing law
