Personal injury & clinical negligence
Injury and medical negligence can have profound psychological effects. People may experience PTSD, depression, anxiety and other mental health problems following road traffic accidents, workplace incidents or negligent medical treatment. MLUK’s personal injury and clinical negligence reports help courts and insurers understand these effects and plan for recovery.
We adhere to legal aid rates, and provide competitive rates for private paying clients.
