What Is A No Win, No Fee Medical Negligence Claim?

A no win, no fee agreement is essentially a contract between you and your solicitor. It enables you to pursue medical negligence compensation without paying any solicitors’ costs upfront.

At Simper Law, our no win no fee solicitors’ medical negligence arrangement means that you do not need to find the money to pay any solicitors’ fees to start your claim. If your claim is unsuccessful, you will generally not be responsible for our legal fees. If we win your case, our fees are typically deducted from your compensation as a pre-agreed percentage.

What Types Of Medical Negligence Claims Do Our No Win, No Fee Solicitors For Medical Negligence Specialise In?

Medical negligence is a broad legal field. At Simper Law, we handle a diverse range of medical negligence claims, including the following:

• Misdiagnosis

Timing is everything in medicine. A misdiagnosis or a delay in diagnosing a serious condition like cancer, sepsis, or a stroke can mean the difference between a full recovery and a life-altering injury.

Delayed diagnoses can occur when a GP fails to refer you to a specialist despite red-flag symptoms, or when a medical professional misinterprets blood tests, X-rays, or MRI scans.

• Surgical Errors

While surgery in the UK is incredibly safe, operations always carry a degree of risk. Some incidents, known as ‘never events’ because they should never happen if protocols are followed, are clear grounds for a medical negligence claim.

Examples of ‘never events’ that can give rise to a medical negligence claim include operating on the wrong body part, and leaving foreign objects in patient’s body after an operation.

• Birth Injury Claims

Negligence during pregnancy or labour can have lifelong consequences for both mother and child. At Simper Law, we are experienced in handling sensitive claims of this nature, and we will work tirelessly to hold those responsible to account and secure the compensation mother and child deserve.

• GP And Prescription Negligence

Your GP is usually your first port of call when you have a medical problem. If they fail to listen to your concerns or refer you to the correct specialist in a timely manner, or if they prescribe the wrong medication, the results can be incredibly harmful.

How Much Compensation Do Our No Win, No Fee Solicitors For Medical Negligence Typically Obtain For Our Clients?

In the UK, there is no fixed amount for a medical negligence payout because compensation is tailored to a patient’s specific pain, suffering, and financial losses. However, the law divides compensation into two distinct categories: General Damages and Special Damages.

General damages compensate you for your physical pain, emotional distress, and ‘loss of amenity’. To ensure consistency, solicitors and judges refer to the Judicial College Guidelines to get a feel for the level of general damages appropriate to a specific injury based on factors such as the injury type and severity.

Special damages compensate a patient for the financial losses caused by the medical negligence. In many high-value claims, the special damages can make up the majority of the compensation. This category is designed to put you back in the financial position you would have been in if the negligence had not happened. Special damages can include:

  • Loss of earnings. You can include both the wages you have already lost and the money you would have earned in the future if you can no longer work in your special damages claim.
  • Care and assistance costs. You can claim the cost of professional nursing care or even gratuitous care provided by family members.
  • Home adaptations. If your injury means that you need to adapt your home to meet your needs, you can claim the cost of modifying your house or even moving to a new home.
  • Medical treatment. If you need private surgery, physiotherapy, or specialised equipment, the cost of this can be included in your special damages claim.

Our medical negligence solicitors will advise you on the level of compensation you can expect once they have reviewed your case and the evidence. Then, they will negotiate settlement terms with the other side, securing the maximum damages possible in the circumstances.
