Life Cycle of a Claim

Life Cycle of a Claim

We have collaborated with NHS Resolution to bring you a series of animated videos explaining key topics and themes in clinical negligence litigation. This is the second in the series: Life Cycle of a Claim.

What is the video about?

In this animated video we provide an overview of the litigation process in clinical negligence claims:

  • What to expect when a claim is Pre-Action (including a review of Letters of Notification, investigations, Letters of Claims and Letters of Responses); and  
  • The process of a Litigated claim (from receipt of proceedings up to Trial)

Who is it for?

Trusts’ legal and governance teams, doctors and medical practitioners.

Further further information and support, please get in touch.
