No Win, No Fee, youclaim.co.uk

Medical negligence and no win, no fee

At YouClaim, the vast majority of personal injury claims that we handle are taken on by our solicitors on a no win, no fee basis and do not cost our customers a penny from start to finish. Read more about what no win, no fee is.

The one area of personal injury law that is handled slightly differently is that of medical negligence.

Medical negligence
Medical negligence claims rely on a great deal of in-depth, complicated evidence that can only be provided by specialist medical experts. Gathering this evidence can prove extremely costly and it is therefore important that there are very solid grounds for bringing a medical negligence case against a health professional.

When you first come to YouClaim, one of our medical negligence solicitors will assess your situation to ensure that it will be possible to prove you sustained personal injury as a result of medical negligence. In order for them to do this, they will need to see medical notes and hospital records that are relevant to the treatment you received.

Medical notes If, at this point, your claim looks like it may well be successful, our solicitor is likely to request a medical specialist to prepare a report detailing your injury and the treatment you received.

Medical notes and a specialist's report generally cost a total of around 350.00. If the person against whom you wish to make your claim accepts liability for the medical negligence that occurred, they may well provide an interim payment to cover these costs.

If our solicitor thinks that a medical negligence claim would be found in your favour, we will take your claim on under a no win, no fee agreement.

No win, no fee
Just as with any no win, no fee agreement, you will not be responsible for any of your personal injury solicitor's fees should your claim be unsuccessful. The solicitor may occasionally recommend that ATE insurance is taken out to protect you from any disbursements that your claim incurs from this point onwards. This insurance will not cost you a penny (the policy will be purchased on your behalf by your solicitor) and will ensure that you are not liable for any fees or costs in the event of an unsuccessful claim.
