Who will pay for my claim?
Clinical negligence claims can be very expensive. Not only is the law difficult but eminent and expensive doctors often need to be instructed to give evidence. There is sometimes delay in waiting for medical reports as the best doctors are busy people.
- Public Funding (formerly Legal Aid)
- Public Funding may be available - we are one of only about 200 firms in England and Wales to be awarded a Legal Aid Franchise for Clinical Negligence Work.
- Fixed Fee
- We often agree to undertake a preliminary investigation for a fixed fee. The purpose of this investigation is to collect basic medical evidence and to estimate the chances of a claim succeeding. In many cases the result of the preliminary investigation allows us to offer our clients a 'No Win No Fee' agreement - see below.
- Legal Expenses Insurance
- You may have an insurance policy to pay your legal costs, perhaps with your car or home insurance. Did you know that you do not have to accept the law firm recommended by your insurer?
- No Win No Fee
- for many clients this is the best option.
We are one of the first law firms in England to undertake No Win No Fee cases.
If we think you have a good case, we will find a way to help you fund it.
