No Win No Fee Medical Negligence Solicitors

No Win No Fee Medical Negligence Solicitors

Finding a lawyer to represent you for a medical negligence case on a true and genuine no win, no fee basis can be a very hard thing to achieve. Even in the best of cases a clinical negligence claim can be very hard to succeed with because they are inherently difficult to prove.

A lot can go wrong with these cases, and because the burden of proof is on you as the victim, it can mean it’s hard to achieve a victory for a claim. We offer genuine no win, no fee agreements for medical negligence claims so read on to find out if we can represent you.

Establishing the background facts

We need to first establish the background facts and key evidence to identify if we think we can fund your entire claim on a no win, no fee basis. We’re taking a risk when we fund claims on a no win, no fee agreement because, if we lose, we don’t get paid.

Our no win, no fee does what it says on the tin so we need to be confident in the case and we are selective when it comes down to who we offer agreements to.

There can be a fine line between what is negligence and what is an inherent risk so this is one of the first things we need to look at. If we believe that what has happened to you should not have happened, was down to a mistake, or is an issue of failing to adequately warn you of something, then there may be a claim to answer for.

Typical cases where we can win the claim often involve:

• Failure to diagnose quickly enough despite presenting adequate symptoms
• Failure to refer you to the correct professional or failure to treat correctly
• Surgical mistakes that could have been avoidable
• Failing to take action when something has gone wrong quick enough
• Failing to properly warn and advise of side effects or dangers of treatment or procedures recommended

How our no win, no fee works – other lawyers will charge!

If we think there are grounds for a claim then we can investigate the case on a no win, no fee basis and the outcome should be either:

• We win the claim and you are awarded compensation, and we seek what legal fees we can from the opponent
• The case is lost or we have to discontinue because we do not feel the prospects are good enough to proceed when new evidence comes to light

In the latter scenario, our no win, no fee means we are prepared to write off all of our legal fees incurred in pursuing your case. Unfortunately for us we literally do not get paid and we do therefore lose out on a case where this happens – but it’s our decision when it comes to us agreeing to take the risk of your case on and fund the entirely of the claim on a no win, no fee basis.

We know and accept that risk and it’s our prerogative as a business to act in this way.

Some lawyers ask for upfront costs or payment on account, and some no win, no fee agreements may not cover you for everything – so you do need to be very carefully when selecting a lawyer to act for you. But for the safest option, call us on 0800 634 7575 and we’ll see if we can assist you.
