Alan MendhamYou need to be tenacious and have stamina as a medical negligence lawyer. A claim against a medical practitioner is often complex and the outcome can have a massive impact on people’s lives. It is hugely important for claimants to be heard and to know that someone has taken responsibility for what has happened to them. As a lawyer, proving that negligence has taken place – especially when it's disputed – can bring about real change.
