Newcastle

When you make a legal team, you need solicitors who you can talk to, and you trust to help you with your needs. We have 90+ years of experiencein house, and we have worked on and won several large and influential cases.

When it comes to our medical negligence and personal injury cases, we primarily work on a No Win, No Fee basis, which means there is no financial risk to you by making a claim, the last thing you should be worried about if you’re injured, is the financial costs related to it.

When it comes to making a claim, we have a team of experts who can help our legal experts with your claim. These include:

Midwives/nurses – who can talk through the proper procedures that should have been followed, and what may have been avoided in cases of medical negligence.

Medical experts – we can get expert comments from various medical experts, to help determine if you may need future care, adaptation or future surgeries due to your injuries. This can help determine how much compensation you are entitled to.

Our legal experts and their teams are here to help you through the process, even when things get complicated. If you need support after you’re claim Slater and Gordon work with membership organisations and charities around the country, who may be able to provide with additional support. This includes Brake, a national road safety charity, and the Police Federation, who we’ve supported for over 60 years, with their members legal needs.
