When you seek medical treatment, you place your trust, your health, and your future in the hands of healthcare professionals. Whether it is a routine GP visit, a planned surgery, or emergency hospital care, the expectation is a standard of care that keeps you safe. However, when that system fails, the consequences can be life-altering. At Simper Law, we understand that the physical pain of medical negligence is frequently compounded by financial stress and emotional exhaustion. That is why we provide specialist no win, no fee medical negligence support wherever possible, ensuring that justice remains accessible to those who need it most, regardless of their financial circumstances.

What Is Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional – be it a doctor, nurse, surgeon, or dentist – fails in their duty of care, resulting in injury, harm, or the worsening of an existing condition.
To succeed in a medical negligence claim, it is not enough to show that a mistake was made; we must prove that the mistake arose due to a breach of duty and directly caused the harm you suffered.
Common Types Of Medical Negligence Claims We Handle
Our experienced medical negligence team at Simper Law manages a wide variety of medical negligence cases, including the following:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, particularly in time-sensitive cases like cancer or sepsis.
- Surgical errors, which encompass mistakes made during procedures or inadequate post-operative care.
- GP negligence, such as a failure to refer a patient to a specialist or misinterpreting symptoms.
- Prescription errors, which include being prescribed the wrong medication or the incorrect dosage.
- Birth injuries, resulting from negligence during pregnancy or labour.
What Is ‘No Win, No Fee Medical Negligence UK’?
The term ‘no win, no fee’ is technically known as a Conditional Fee Agreement, or a ‘CFA’. For many of our clients in Norfolk, Suffolk, and across the UK, this is the most viable way to seek medical negligence compensation without taking on personal financial risk.
How no win, no fee medical negligence works at Simper Law
- No upfront costs, meaning that you do not have to pay any legal fees to get your case started.
- No risk if you lose your claim. If your claim is unsuccessful, you will not owe us any solicitors’ fees for the work we have performed on your case.
- Transparency. If you win, our fees are typically paid as a pre-agreed percentage of your compensation. We pride ourselves on being straight-talking and jargon-free, ensuring that you understand exactly how our no win, no fee medical negligence funding works before you sign a single document
Why Choose Simper Law?
Since our founding in 2016 by Kim Simper, our firm has built a reputation for combining high-level legal expertise with a deeply personal touch.
We are proud to offer our clients:
• Honest And Straightforward Legal Advice
We believe in clarity. Medical negligence claims are complex and can take time to resolve. From your very first consultation, we provide an honest assessment of your chances of success. We will not lead you down a path that is not in your best interests; instead, we will tell you where you stand from day one.
• A Personal, Empathetic Approach
Our clients often come to us during the most difficult periods of their lives. Our testimonials frequently highlight our team’s ability to make clients feel ‘at ease’ and ‘listened to’. We do not just see the legal claim; we see the person behind the injury.
• Local Roots, National Standards
With offices in Norwich, Great Yarmouth, Halesworth, and Loddon, we are firmly rooted in the Norfolk and North Suffolk communities. However, our litigation expertise allows us to challenge large NHS Trusts and private healthcare providers with the same rigour as any national firm.
What Are The Time Limits For Medical Negligence Claims?
In the UK, the general rule is that you have three years from the date of the negligence or the date you became aware of the negligence to issue court proceedings. There are exceptions, for instance, in cases involving children or individuals who lack mental capacity, but for most, the clock is ticking.
The earlier you contact a solicitor, the easier it is to gather fresh evidence and witness statements. Waiting too long can make a complex case even harder to prove.
