What can Slater and Gordon do for you?
Highly experienced
Our highly specialist teams have been representing families affected by brain injury as a result of personal injury and medical negligence for decades and have been involved in some of the most high-profile and ground-breaking cases.
Given this high level of experience, we fully understand the difficulties which can be faced by families affected by brain injury and this enables us to provide a bespoke legal service as well as the practical support and guidance needed.
Strong reputation
We have a strong reputation for achieving outstanding results for cases involving brain injury, as well as ensuring that the best available treatment and rehabilitation is also obtained. Independent legal guides such as Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 have ranked our teams highly over the years and consider many of our experts to be leaders in their field. Over the years, we've also won and been shortlisted in a number of prestigious legal awards such as the Personal Injury Awards, Manchester Legal Awards, Modern Claim Awards, Wales Legal Awards and the Liverpool Law Society Awards.
Medical team of nurses and midwives
Our team, which spans across England, Scotland and Wales, also includes nurses and midwives who are able to offer bespoke medical advice and guidance in addition to the legal expertise which is provided by our specialist lawyers.
Treatment and rehabilitation support
In the majority of cases, the sooner that rehabilitation and treatment begins, the better the outcome will be. That's why we make it our priority when someone suffers a serious injury.
We work with some of the best case managers and treatment providers in the UK to ensure the treatment you receive is the best available and seek early interim payments a key part of our strategy to ensure there's funding to begin as soon as possible, giving you the best chance to maximise recovery and future independence.
No financial risk
The vast majority of personal injury and medical negligence cases are funded by a No Win No Fee agreement. What this basically means is if you lose your case, there will be no cost to you so there's no financial risk.
Slater and Gordon is also able to offer Legal Aid funding on medical negligence cases where a child has suffered from a neurological injury at birth or within the early neonatal period, such as cerebral palsy. It’s important to note that not all law firms are able to offer legal aid funding, but Slater and Gordon are an exception.
Once we've taken details of your case from you, we’ll be able to advise you on which risk free funding option is best for you.
