New Ashton Medical Negligence Office for Leading Law Firm

Medical Negligence Partner, John Pollitt

ADVERTISMENT
Pearson Hinchliffe's fourth branch will be a natural step in the company's continuing growth. The new spacious Ashton office at 1-3 Fletcher Street will accommodate a full team of specialist lawyers, medical experts and support staff and provide plenty of room to talk to clients in a relaxed, professional setting.

‘Simply Walk In’

Partner, John Pollitt, who leads the highly experienced team in helping the victims of medical accidents seek justice and compensation for their injuries, said: “We’re not stuffy; we’re modern, sympathetic and approachable, which is why we are focusing on our Ashton office having a welcoming feel. We think people shouldn’t have to make appointments days and weeks in advance. What if you wanted help right away? You can simply walk in and have cup of tea and a chat about your particular circumstances with a friendly solicitor.”

The law firm believes that people may find this relaxed approach easier. John Pollitt added: “It’s always better to meet people face to face. We can tell pretty quickly if there is a case worth pursuing and offer some immediate preliminary advice."

Consumer Choice

John Pollitt commented: “We are delighted to provide greater consumer choice and access to medical negligence specialists. Ashton is very important to us and we believe that through our new branch we can help provide some much-needed competition that will benefit the people of Ashton and the surrounding area. At Pearson Hinchliffe we place great emphasis on providing the highest levels of legal expertise and customer care, which has seen our firm grow even in this economic climate; we are looking forward to demonstrating this to our new clients throughout the borough."

Legal Aid Provider
Pearson Hinchliffe is the only local law firm able to offer legal aid for medical negligence cases because of its official endorsement by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for ‘Clinical Negligence’ work and the respected charity Action Against Medical Accidents (AvMA). John Pollitt added: “People of a low income and children, who fall victim to medical mistakes still have equal access to the law under the legal aid scheme. Owing to our legal aid-provider status, Pearson Hinchliffe can help those seeking to bring a compensation claim for medical negligence get access to justice. It is worth noting, however, that those not eligible for legal aid still have other funding options open to them including pre-existing legal expense insurance.”

Pearson Hinchliffe Solicitors has a dedicated Medical Negligence department and also offers personal injury claims advice along with a variety of other personal and business legal services.

The new Medical Negligence offices are at 1-3 Fletcher Street, Ashton-Under-Lyne, OL6 6BY.
