Announcement.
Legal Aid Board Clinical Negligence
Franchise.
"I have recently been the victim of a
medical accident and believe that I am
eligible for legal aid, but when I went to
my solicitor they advised me that they
couldn't make an application for legal aid
as they were no longer franchised. What does
this mean and what should I do?"
As of August last year, firms who have not
been awarded the Legal Aid Board Clinical
Negligence Franchise are no longer able to
pursue clinical negligence claims with the
benefit of legal aid.
This has developed because cases for injury
caused by healthcare treatment are often
complex, and it is vital that claimants
receive a quality assured service in this
specialist area of law.
All firms who have received this franchise
have been identified and checked by the
Legal Aid Board to make sure that they give
a quality service.
