Clinical Negligence Compensation
What are the costs of legal advice?
In the first instance we offer a FREE initial consultation with one of our clinical negligence specialists. We will discuss the circumstances of your potential claim and before proceeding, will advise you on your chances of winning.
Whilst legal aid for most clinical negligence cases in the UK is no longer available, if you win your case the Defendant (other side) will be liable to pay your legal fees on top of your compensation.
We may be able to act on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, plus we can advise you on whether you may have legal expenses insurance cover already in place via other means, e.g. your home insurance policy.
This will be fully explained at your FREE initial consultation.
Other funding options will also be explored and if available, they will be fully explained.
