Medical negligence: Quality of nursing care claims
If you are concerned about the standard of care a relative or loved one is receiving, there are steps you
I am a Senior Associate Solicitor in the medical negligence team. As a department, we have many years of combined experience and our specialisms cover many different types of claims including fatal accidents, birth injuries, psychiatric injuries and delays in diagnosis.
I am committed to offering excellent client services and understand the importance of being able to speak to someone who knows about your case.
Any form of legal action can be a daunting process and I understand that each client is different. I aim to tailor my approach to ensure that you get the style of service you prefer.

Rachel Benton is really excellent - highly conscientious and very astute.

I graduated from Bangor University with a first class Law degree in 2012. I originally joined Tees as part of the medical negligence team in April 2013 as a support team assistant and then as a paralegal. I attained a Distinction in the Legal Practice Course in 2017, studying part-time at BPP University in Cambridge, whilst continuing to work at Tees. I then carried out my training contract at Tees and returned to the medical negligence Team in March 2019 as a qualified solicitor.
