Michael Shaw is a specialist medical negligence direct access barrister.
Michael describes his approach to medical negligence
“We all value the NHS and the hardworking health care providers who work within it. However, to err is human and when mistakes are made they can and do have life changing consequences. All healthcare providers are required to carry professional indemnity insurance, to ensure that victims of medical negligence have a basic safety net to help them manage what are often life changing injuries.
Of course, money will never be adequate compensation but it can help families manage their lives when healthcare goes wrong.
I have been privileged to spend over 20 years working for people who have suffered all manner of injuries through no fault of their own. I love my job. Every case brings a new challenge and new rewards, and while medical negligence cases can often be complex, I try to make the process as clear and straightforward as I can for each of my clients. I want to take away all the legal speak and the medical jargon to leave my clients in no doubt as to exactly where they are. Once that’s understood I can more easily advise you on the best next steps and how to take them.
Because I am registered as a direct access barrister, members of the public are now welcome to instruct me directly. Not only will you save on solicitors fees, but you’ll have your own experienced lawyer who is just an email or phone call away.”
