Our team understands how experiencing medical negligence can have a big impact on your life, and lives of those closest to you. We're here to help you get the advice and support you need.
The thought of going through a medical negligence claim at a stressful time may feel daunting, but we are here to help you all the way. Our dedicated medical negligence solicitors will do everything they can to make the legal process as easy as possible for you.
We have represented many people, who have been treated negligently by a healthcare professional, get the compensation and aftercare they deserve. Our team works on a no win, no fee basis and understands the emotional impact these situations can have on people and families. During your claim and while we are working together, our team of medical negligence experts will look to help ease your burden by also considering care plans, home adaptations, corrective treatments, counselling and rehabilitation.
Yes. If you believe you could be eligible to receive compensation for experiencing medical negligence, we recommend you talk to us as soon as possible. Generally, medical negligence claims should be brought within three years from the date that you became aware of the negligence. Children have until they are 21 in which to bring a claim, and those who are unable to manage their own affairs (in other words they lack capacity) are exempt from this time limit, where other time limits apply.
Every medical negligence claim is different, meaning the amount of compensation you receive will depend on your individual situation. Throughout your case, your solicitor will keep you updated on compensation and will usually give you an indication of how much you can expect to be rewarded.

We carry out many of our claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs for you and, provided that you have not misled or acted against the advice that we have given you, no financial risk to you – even if your claim is not successful.
In most instances we will purchase ‘After the Event’ (ATE) insurance on your behalf to cover any legal costs should you not win the case. However, if you have a ‘Before the Event’ (BTE) insurance policy included in your home, car or credit card insurance then we may look to use that insurance to cover the legal costs and an ATE policy should not then be required.

In general you have three years from the date of negligence or reasonable knowledge of mistreatment by a medical professional causing you harm to bring a medical negligence compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule; for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to our medical negligence solicitors as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
