Our Expertise

Why instruct Kingsley Napley?

Our Approach

We have more than 25 years of experience in acting for victims of medical negligence.

Our highly dedicated team of solicitors are committed to obtaining the best possible outcome for every client. We have more than 25 years of experience in acting for victims of medical negligence.

We frequently achieve multi-million pound settlements for clients.

Our clients include adults and children who have suffered catastrophic injuries. We are experienced in tailoring compensation to provide individualised care and support over our clients’ lifetimes. While nothing can undo the harm caused by negligence, financial compensation can be life-enhancing. It can ensure that basic needs are met, provide opportunities to live life as fully as possible, and give the reassurance of long term financial security.

Our expertise is recognised by high rankings in the legal directories Legal 500 and Chambers UK.

Whatever your injury or medical condition, our ethos is to support you through the legal process to enable you to obtain the compensation you are entitled to.

We strongly believe in the principles of the NHS and the need for healthcare standards to be maintained; both within the NHS and in the private healthcare sector. Together with colleagues in our Public Law team, we have represented patients’ organisations at the Public Inquiry into failings at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust.

“I understood every aspect of my claim, and they handled everything with respect and compassion. I felt grateful to be in the hands of such experienced, knowledgeable and understanding solicitors.”
