Doctors always stick together don’t they, won’t this make it impossible for me to claim compensation?
In order to bring a clinical negligence claim we employ the services of doctors who also act as expert witnesses. These doctors have all had specific training in this area and we are very careful to use those doctors who we know will provide a totally impartial and unbiased service.
When acting as an expert witness the doctors duty is not to you or to us as your solicitors but to the court and they must provide impartial advice.
If doctors were unwilling to come forward and give impartial and critical advice, claimants would not be able to successfully bring claims, but they do in increasing numbers.
