The clinical negligence department in Birmingham is disappointed by the Government's stance so far with regard to the withdrawal of Legal Aid for Medical negligence cases. As demonstrated by the latest statistics http://soundoffforjustice.org/legal-aid-cuts-will-hit-thousands-in-birmingham

hundreds of people from the West Midlands will be denied access to justice. As a firm supporter of Legal Aid, Davies and Partners has always supported victims of clinical negligence to ensure that their cases are properly investigated. However, if the reforms to Legal Aid are implemented hundreds of injured victims will not be able to pursue a claim unless they can fund the case themselves. After suffering from an injury it is unfair to expect victims to fund investigations into a case, especially when the majority of cases are in respect of NHS Treatment. Davies and Partners is part of the campaign to try and ensure that Legal Aid is retained for Clinical negligence cases.
