What No Win, No Fee Means In Practice
Under a no win, no fee arrangement, you pay no solicitor’s fees if your claim does not succeed. If it does succeed, a pre-agreed success fee is deducted from your compensation, and in the majority of cases the greater part of legal costs is recovered from the defendant.
To protect against the risk of the defendant’s costs falling to you if the claim fails, a policy of After the Event insurance is usually arranged at the outset, with the premium typically deferred until the conclusion of the matter. We explain every element of this funding structure clearly before you make any commitment.
Why Medical Negligence Claims Need Specialist Legal Advice
A medical negligence claim requires a solicitor who understands not just the legal framework governing duty of care, breach, and causation, but also how medical professionals are trained, what clinical standards apply in a given situation, and how to analyse a set of hospital records. It also requires the ability to identify, instruct, and work effectively with independent medical experts, whose evidence is frequently central to whether a claim succeeds or fails.
We can help from the very earliest stage to assess whether a viable case exists and, if so, to identify the expert input needed to build it properly.
What You Need For A Valid Claim
For a medical negligence claim to succeed, three things must be established.
First, the healthcare professional must have owed you a duty of care. In most clinical contexts, this is straightforward to demonstrate. Second, the healthcare professional must have breached that duty by falling below the standard of a reasonably competent practitioner in their position. Third, and most often the most fiercely contested element, the breach must have caused the harm you suffered.
We can help you understand how each of these elements applies to your situation and what evidence is needed to support them.
The Scale Of Clinical Negligence In The UK
If you are considering making a medical negligence claim, you are not alone. NHS Resolution, the body responsible for handling claims against NHS bodies in England, received over 14,000 new clinical negligence claims in its last reported year. Pursuing a legal claim not only ensures you receive the compensation you need and deserve but also encourages NHS Trusts to improve the quality of their services so that other patients do not suffer as you have.
We can help clients who experienced harm in NHS settings and those treated by private healthcare providers, to whom the same principles of medical negligence law apply equally.
The Types Of Cases We Handle
Medical negligence can arise across almost every area of medical practice. We handle claims involving surgical errors, delayed or missed diagnosis of conditions including cancer, sepsis and cardiac events, failures in maternity and neonatal care, anaesthetic errors, inadequate GP referrals, prescription and medication errors, and complications arising from substandard post-operative follow-up. We can also help where harm has occurred in a care home or community care setting where clinical standards were not met, and where the consequences have had a lasting impact on a client’s quality of life.
