New clinical negligence solicitor joins team

Hilary Meredith Solicitors Limited, with offices in Wilmslow and London, has expanded its clinical negligence team with the appointment of solicitor Neil Crossley

As a specialist clinical negligence solicitor, Neil brings a wealth of knowledge and experience across a wide spectrum of injury types and joins the firm to meet the increasing demand for its clinical negligence compensation claims service nationwide. 

Neil joins the firm from Fletchers Solicitors where he handled a number of high value clinical negligence cases including, but not limited to, orthopaedic, gynaecological, urological, opthalmic, dental and misdiagnosis cases. He has a proven track record of successful cases against defendant Hospital Trusts, surgeons, GPs, physiotherapists, dentists and pharmacies. 

Based at Hilary Meredith Solicitors’ Wilmslow office Neil will deal with an expanding caseload of both military and civilian clinical negligence claims. 

Neil says: “Hilary Meredith Solicitors has earned a reputation for success in handling complex and difficult clinical negligence cases and I look forward to joining the team to help build on this success and contribute to the firms’ ongoing growth. Having been a registered nurse for six years, I believe the medical knowledge and expertise gained during this time gives me added insight into clinical negligence cases”.

Clare Stevens, director at Hilary Meredith Solicitors, says: “We are delighted to welcome Neil to the team. His reputation and experience will further strengthen our commitment to helping those individuals and families who are sadly affected by the increasing number of incidents of clinical negligence. Neil's inside knowledge and understanding of both medical and legal issues from his previous experiences will be key to the development of our clinical negligence team.”
