Medical negligence and personal injury are two of the most common litigation types we handle at Clarendon Legal.

Medical Negligence.

Medical negligence refers to poor care provided by a medical professional to a patient that has caused injury or worsened an existing condition. Medical negligence can occur in many ways, including incorrect diagnosis, improper treatment, surgical errors, and more. If you’ve been misdiagnosed, mistreated, or injured during a medical procedure, feel free to contact Clarendon Legal for a confidential and no-obligation free consultation.

Personal Injury.

Personal injury refers to any physical or emotional injuries you sustain due to another person’s negligence. You may be able to pursue the responsible party for personal injury together with compensation for your financial loss.

Litigation FAQ

Litigation refers to the act of taking a dispute before a court when parties cannot agree on a dispute’s fair and proper resolution. They will present their cases to a court for its decision.

Civil litigation at the High Court of Northern Ireland can resolve significant commercial disputes. This adversarial process requires a claimant to prove their case to win. If agreement is reached between the two parties outside of court while the matter is listed before the court, it is called an out-of-court settlement.

A wide variety of cases can be settled using litigation. These cases include: Commercial disputes (e.g. claims for breach of contracts, such as the recovery of debts or damaged goods); matrimonial matters (e.g. determination of the number of spousal claims in a divorce action); Legal actions against the state (e.g. a judicial review of a decision); personal injury claims (e.g. monetary claims that arise from an accident in which a person has suffered injury through no fault of their own); employment disputes (e.g. a claim for wrongful employment termination).
