What clinical negligence means
A clinical negligence claim usually requires proof that the treatment fell below a reasonable professional standard and that the failure caused avoidable injury, loss or death. A poor outcome alone is not enough.
- Hospital negligence
- GP negligence
- Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis

Scott and his team
The practice is led by Scott Harding-Lister, who supervises and manages a focused team of lawyers. The team does not operate a volume claims model; potential instructions are considered carefully before substantial investigation is undertaken.
Claimant and defendant experience
Scott has acted on both sides of clinical negligence disputes, including defending doctors and nurses accused of negligence. That dual perspective helps the team understand how allegations are likely to be tested and where the real evidential pressure points sit.
