Gadsby Wicks was founded in 1993 by medical negligence solicitors Roger Wicks and Gillian Gadsby. We now have a team of 9 lawyers, all experts in this field, based in Chelmsford, Essex representing the interests of people in England and Wales who have been injured by a medical accident or through errors in treatment. We achieve many millions of pounds in compensation every year for people who have been injured as a result of a medical accident. Wherever possible, we aim to get an explanation for what happened to cause the accident, helping to reduce the possibility that someone will suffer in the same way in the future. At Gadsby Wicks we are passionate about providing expert legal advice and excellent service. We have been awarded the Legal Services Commission Quality Mark (the Legal Aid franchise) for our specialist work in handling medical negligence claims, the Law Society's LEXCEL Quality Mark, ISO9001 certification and the Investors In People accreditation. Most recently, we have retained our number one ranking for medical negligence solicitors in Essex in the latest edition (2014) of the Chambers and Partners Solicitors Guide with the industry noting that "Gadsby Wicks is a pioneer in the field, especially in relation to costs and funding". The 2014 edition of "Legal 500" has seen both Roger Wicks and Gillian Gadsby recommended. The solicitors at Gadsby Wicks are widely regarded as being amongst the best in England and Wales and many of us are members of the Law Society's Clinical Negligence Accreditation Scheme and the AvMA Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel.
