Our specialist Medical Negligence Solicitors will talk you through the process when we take on your claim, but here’s a brief overview.
Call us on 0808 239 6043 for a free claims assessment. We’ll have a free, no obligation chat with you about your situation.
We’ll tell you if we think you should make a formal complaint about your treatment to the NHS. We’ll help you make the complaint and review any outcome letters for you.
An independent Medical Expert will review your treatment and tell us if they think it was substandard.
We’ll take care of the difficult tasks so you can concentrate on recovering and learning to live with your condition.
If possible, we’ll apply for interim payments of compensation so you can pay for any urgent treatment or deal with any financial issues before your claim settles.
We’ll do all we can to negotiate an early settlement of your claim with the NHS, as long as that settlement is in your best interest. Most medical negligence claims settle without ever needing to go to Court, but whatever happens, we’ll be with you to guide you through the process.
We may need to consider whether you need to set up a Personal Injury Trust to manage your compensation payments, and we have specialist Lawyers to help you with that. We can also help you to make a Will too. We’ll talk you through your options once we know your case is settled.
In April 2023, The Times published figures showing that the NHS spent £160 million on paying bereaved people last year where, as a result of their failures, people had passed away for a range of different reasons.
