What Area Do We Cover?
From our Sheffield office we handle medical negligence claims from across South Yorkshire and the East Midlands.
Although we’re Sheffield-based, that doesn’t mean that you would have to travel to us if your injuries or health condition make that difficult. We can visit you at a place that’s more convenient – and we often meet our clients at their homes, or while they’re in hospital. Since the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve also been using video calling as a way of keeping our clients up to date about their claim.

What To Expect When You Make A Medical Negligence Claim
When you make a claim with us, our priority will be helping you make the best recovery possible.
We’ll investigate your treatment concerns and try to get the NHS or private medical provider to accept responsibility for your injury. This is an important step, as the earlier we can get them to admit liability, the sooner we can get you an interim compensation payment. Interim payments can help replace your lost income if you’re unable to work, and cover expenses such as physiotherapy.
We can also offer you the help of our Support & Rehabilitation team. This team is there to make your life easier. They can help you with everything from completing benefits applications, through to accessing local authority funding to install a wheelchair ramp at your home.
For medical negligence claims that involve life-changing injuries, you should expect your case to take a few years to settle. This is because we need to see how far you’re able to recover, and the effect your injuries will have on your life over the long term. While your claim is going through we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

Client Story ‐ Turning Concern Into Hope
After Haley’s diagnosis of cerebral palsy, her parents had questions about the care that Haley and her mum had received, both during the delivery and at antenatal appointments. Anna Stacey – one of our medical negligence solicitors in Sheffield – started looking into what had happened. Cerebral palsy claims can take a long time, but Anna fought the family’s corner throughout.
We also helped Haley access the specialist therapies she needed. Haley and her family have been able to move to a bungalow that’s been specially adapted to her needs. Haley has made remarkable progress and has even taken her first independent steps – defying her doctor’s original prognosis.
