The costs involved with making a clinical negligence claim

If you have sustained harm through the negligence of a person, organisation or company, you may find that by contacting YouClaim's legal advisers an expert personal injury solicitor can be found to represent you.

However, although we operate a no win, no fee compensation system for most personal injury cases, claims of medical negligence work a little differently.

Costs

Clinical negligence cases often involve the need for one or more professionals to provide their specialist knowledge of your injury, which can then help a solicitor present suitable evidence of the liable party's responsibility for your pain and suffering.

Copies of medical notes and hospital records will need to be obtained by the solicitor working on your case, and you will also need to be screened by an independent medical expert who will then write a medical report to act as evidence of your injuries.

Disbursements must be paid to all the individuals who aid in gathering useful information to further your case. Overall, these costs, payable by you, will usually be around £500.

Although you will be reimbursed if your claim is successful, you will not recover these initial costs if your claim is unsuccessful.

Making a claim

Following the initial costs of a medical negligence claim, your case will work on a no win, no fee basis, so you will still gain 100% compensation from a winning claim.

All of our personal injury solicitors are experts in their respective fields and have succeeded in helping the large majority of their claimants receive a settlement for their pain, suffering, and any loss of earnings relating to the injury.

Furthermore, they will explain the legal process in plain English so that you don't have to wade through legal jargon, and are sympathetic to each personal injury victim's situation.

If you believe that you deserve remuneration for your injuries, contact one of our legal advisers via live help or over the phone on 0800 10 757 95.
