Medical negligence solicitors

We can represent anyone who has suffered a medical accident and specialise in handling complex cases involving severe, life-changing injuries such as spinal injuries, brain damage or neurological injury – and fatal injuries.

In reality, not every claim is worth pursuing – some cases are simply too complicated or expensive and have a poor chance of success. Start by seeking advice from one of our specialist medical negligence solicitors. The initial consultation is free and will help you understand whether your claim is likely to have a positive outcome for you.

It’s important to consider how you’re going to pay your legal expenses especially as the cost of pursuing a medical negligence claim can be high. However, there are funding options available that could help reduce the expense, such as an existing insurance policy covering claims of this nature, a Conditional Fee Agreement (often called ‘no win no fee’) or legal aid.

Before you embark on your claim, we will talk you through:

• The potential cost of pursuing your medical negligence claim
• What percentage of these costs you might get back
• What funding options are available to you.

Every case is different, but here are some examples of compensation awarded to our clients:

• £8.6 million – awarded to a child with cerebral palsy resulting from negligence during birth.
• £1.5 million – awarded to a client who suffered a stroke due to negligence following a heart bypass procedure.
• £500,000 – awarded to a family whose child suffered brain damage after a GP negligently failed to refer them to hospital.
• £220,000 – awarded to a client who faced a delay in the treatment and diagnosis for a malignant melanoma.
