Our clinical negligence solicitors act for patients who have suffered as a result of substandard medical care. Whilst we realise millions of people are treated by doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals to a very high standard, a small percentage of patients treated either on the NHS or privately may be the victim of medical negligence. If the complaint can be attributed to substandard medical care and shown that that care has resulted in a quantifiable injury, it may be possible to bring a clinical negligence claim. Not all instances of poor medical management meet the legal tests needed for a successful clinical negligence claim, and our clinical negligence solicitors give advice on this at the beginning of a claim.

Funding Clinical Negligence Claims - Legal Aid and No Win No Fee (CFA)
We hold a Legal Services Commission Franchise (Legal Aid) and if you qualify we can apply for legal aid funding to cover the costs of pursuing your clinical negligence claim. Alternatively you may have legal expenses insurance. Or we may be able to offer a CFA – also known as a “No win No Fee agreement”, and so that you are not at risk of paying the defendant’s costs if you fund your claim by a no win no fee agreement, we also operate a delegated "After the Event" insurance scheme which allows us to offer most clients who qualify for no win, no fee (CFA) funding for their clinical negligence claim instant insurance cover to protect them from paying the defendant's costs and expenses if the claim is unsuccessful. We also are on the panel of a number of large insurance companies and regularly act for clients who hold legal expenses insurance to pursue a clinical negligence claim.
