STEWARTS
STEWARTS
Stewarts’ specialist serious injury teams have the expertise to advise families who have been affected by HIE, in particular to help them navigate any potential legal claims and to provide any other legal support they may require. Our lawyers understand the particular challenges faced by families when their child has been injured at birth. Stewarts has successfully investigated and concluded numerous birth injury claims for our clients resulting in multi-million pound settlements, which provide them with life-long financial security.
Stewarts is top-ranked for clinical negligence work in the Legal 500 directory and described as ‘premier league leaders in the field’. Our lawyers only handle between 10 and 12 cases at any one time, a much smaller number than at other law firms. This ensures we have the time to really get to know our clients and their families, understand their needs and aspirations and build a bespoke case for them that will ensure that their lifelong needs are met.
Our ultimate goal is to help our clients lead full and active lives. We therefore prioritise accessing specialist rehabilitation and treatment as early as possible. We have an in-house Rehabilitation Coordinator available to advise and assist our clients. We have offices in London and Leeds but provide a national service and will always visit our clients in hospital or at home or at any location that is convenient to them.
In addition to the support we provide to clients by pursuing compensation claims on their behalf, Stewarts is unique amongst serious injury law firms in having a dedicated Pro Bono (free of charge) team whose role is to support people who have sustained serious injuries or who are critically ill. They can advise on various legal issues including welfare benefits, financial issues, critical illness/personal accident/ill health insurance policies, employment and housing.
Stewarts is the UK’s largest litigation only law firm, acting exclusively for clients in high value complex disputes. We strive for excellence in all that we do, not only in our cutting edge approach to litigation but also our responsibilities as an employer and to the wider community.
We are proud to support PEEPS in its mission to help those in the UK touched by HIE to access the support they need alongside increasing awareness and understanding of this condition.
