What Is Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence happens when a healthcare professional delivers care that falls below the standard a competent practitioner in the same position would have provided, and that failure directly causes or significantly worsens your injury or condition.
This covers a wider range of situations than many people realise. A GP who fails to refer a patient with cancer symptoms to a specialist, a surgeon who makes an error during a procedure, a hospital that prescribes the wrong medication or the wrong dose, or a midwife who fails to respond appropriately during labour can all be the subject of a medical negligence claim.
Not every poor medical outcome amounts to negligence, and complications can arise even when a patient receives the best possible care. We will always give you an honest assessment of your legal position, so you can make an informed choice about how to proceed.
What Is No Win, No Fee?
The formal name for a no win, no fee arrangement is a Conditional Fee Agreement, or CFA. In practical terms, it means we take on your case without charging you anything upfront. If your claim does not succeed, you do not pay us for the work we have carried out. If it succeeds, the defendant, typically the NHS trust or private healthcare provider responsible, pays the majority of your legal costs directly.
Where a success fee applies, this is the element that reflects the risk we carry in funding your case from the start. By law, that fee is capped at 25% of the damages awarded to you, and only on certain categories of loss. We will explain all of this before anything is signed, so there are no surprises further down the line. We can help you understand exactly what you would receive from any award before you make any decision about proceeding.
In most cases, a CFA sits alongside an After the Event insurance policy, known as ATE insurance. This policy covers disbursements such as court fees and the cost of independent medical expert reports if the claim ultimately does not succeed. It is a further layer of financial protection that means you are not left out of pocket regardless of the outcome.
Before agreeing to take on any case on a no win, no fee basis, we carry out a careful assessment of your claim’s prospects. Your solicitor needs to be satisfied that the case has a reasonable chance of success. If we take your case on, it means that we believe that your claim has real merit, and we will back you to the finish.
What Types Of Cases Do We Handle?
We deal with a wide range of medical negligence claims. We can help with delayed or missed diagnosis of conditions including cancer, sepsis, heart attack, meningitis, and stroke, where a failure to act promptly caused measurable harm. We can help where surgical errors have led to further injury, unnecessary procedures, or the need for corrective surgery. We also act in cases involving prescription mistakes, poor post-operative care, dental negligence, and failures in mental health treatment.
Do Time Limits Apply To Medical Negligence Claims?
Medical negligence claims are usually subject to a three-year limitation period. In most cases this runs from the date the negligence occurred, or from the date on which you first had reason to believe that substandard care may have contributed to your injury. For children, the three-year period does not begin until their 18th birthday. For adults who lack mental capacity, different rules apply and the limitation period may not run at all while that incapacity continues.
Acting sooner rather than later always works in your favour. Medical records are more accessible, recollections are clearer, and the evidential foundation of a case is stronger when a claim is investigated promptly.
Why Work With Us?
Our solicitors bring over 50 years of combined legal experience across both personal and commercial matters, and our medical negligence practice sits within our wider civil litigation and dispute resolution work. We are not a large, impersonal firm where clients become case numbers. We give clear, plain-English advice, treat every client as an individual, and genuinely care about the outcome of your case.
We understand that a medical negligence claim is rarely just about money. For many clients, it is about getting honest answers, achieving accountability, and making sure the same thing does not happen to somebody else. We can help you take the first step with a no-obligation initial conversation at no cost to you.
