Sarah Vallance will soon be presenting at the QLS Specialist Practice Conference on how to navigate a claim when time, because of illness, becomes one of our client’s greatest challenges.
In a recent interview in preparation for the conference, Sarah said claims involving terminally ill patients require lawyers to move quickly, communicate clearly and understand the emotional weight carried by patients and their families because failing to do so could have serious consequences, including the risk that a claim might not be finalised before the claimant dies. In her experience, patients with a terminal illness do not want to be involved in lengthy litigation. They want the peace of mind knowing that their claim has been finalised and that their family will be looked after.
We believe this is one of the things we do best at Oak Medical Law. We know how to expedite the process as best as possible and will use the Courts’ powers to bypass unnecessary steps to bring the matter to a conclusion.
