As a Shine member you constantly place your health, and sometimes your life, in the hands of clinicians. Most people will not experience any difficulties. But sometimes things go unexpectedly wrong. In some cases, this could have been avoided. 

The decision to bring a claim for negligence can be a difficult one – it is not a quick nor easy process and it can mean having to recall painful experiences about the impact the mistake has had on you and your family.

Before considering a clinical negligence claim it is important that you take advice from specialist, reputable solicitors who are experts in clinical negligence cases.
