Misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment and surgical errors are all medical mistakes which can lead to a medical negligence claim. If your illness or injury worsened after a medical treatment or diagnosis, you might be entitled to claim compensation.
Every case of medical negligence is different, and the final amount of compensation awarded will be based on the severity of the injury and the affect the injury has had on your life. Additionally, you’ll also be able to claim for any lost earnings, any long-term care, rehabilitation and any necessary house adaptations to maximise the chance of recovery and independent living.
The vast majority of our negligence claims are funded by a No Win No Fee agreement, so there’s no financial risk to you.

Can I get help with costs before my negligence case reaches a conclusion?
When suffering as a result of medical negligence, it can also have a negative financial impact, for example, if you’ve been unable to work, you may have lost earnings, or you may have to pay for treatment, rehabilitation and medication.
Interim payments are payments which can be made prior to your case reaching a final settlement to help relieve any financial burden. It can pay for private medical treatments and rehabilitation.
Interim payments are only available when the other side has admitted they were in some part to blame for the incident. We can help you secure interim payments.

If you believe you have a claim, it’s important that you seek advice from a solicitor who specialises in medical negligence cases as soon as possible, as there are time limits in place in England, Scotland and Wales.
Generally, a claim should be made within three years from the date the negligence occurred or the date you were first aware that you had suffered a significant injury or illness due to negligence. However, there are exceptions.
