The Claims Process

1

Initial Assessment

We review the circumstances, obtain medical records, and provide an honest assessment of whether you have a viable claim. If we think you have a case, we'll explain the process and funding options including no win, no fee.

2

Expert Evidence

We instruct independent medical experts in the relevant specialty to review the care provided. They advise on whether treatment fell below acceptable standards and whether this caused the harm suffered. Strong expert evidence is essential.

3

Letter of Claim & Negotiation

We send a detailed Letter of Claim to the defendant, setting out the allegations. They have four months to investigate and respond. We then negotiate settlement, often with the assistance of medical and financial experts to value future losses.

4

Court Proceedings or Settlement

If settlement can't be reached, we issue court proceedings. Most cases settle before trial, but we're experienced litigators ready to take cases to court if necessary. We fight for maximum compensation and meaningful admissions of liability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about medical negligence claims.

To succeed in a medical negligence claim, you must prove: (1) the treatment fell below the standard expected of a reasonably competent professional, and (2) this breach of duty caused significant harm. Not all poor outcomes are negligent - we need to show the care was substandard. Contact us for a free assessment.

Generally, you have 3 years from the date of the negligent treatment, or from when you became aware (or should reasonably have become aware) that the treatment was negligent. For children, the 3-year limit doesn't start until their 18th birthday. Some exceptions apply, so seek advice promptly.

A no win, no fee agreement (Conditional Fee Agreement) means you don't pay our legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. If we win, we deduct a success fee from your compensation (usually capped at 25%). We also arrange insurance to cover the opponent's costs if you lose.

Compensation depends on the severity of injury and financial losses. It covers: pain and suffering (general damages), past and future care costs, lost earnings, medical expenses, aids and equipment, and other financial losses. Serious injury claims can be worth millions. We instruct experts to accurately value your claim.
