How to make a medical negligence claim
If you think you have suffered from medical negligence, you should seek legal advice from a specialist solicitor, like Nayyars, to assess your case and guide you through the complex claims process.
In your initial consultation, we’ll take a full account, listening to your side of the story before advising on whether or not we think you have a claim, and whether you’re eligible for a No Win No Fee Agreement or legal aid.
Then, our specialist solicitors will request access to your medical records and review them to identify what mistakes were made, and how they impacted your condition and/or recovery.
Next, we’ll gather evidence of medical negligence by taking detailed statements from yourself and any witnesses, arrange for an independent medical examination and request any relevant documents from your healthcare provider.
Once we have established that a healthcare provider breached their duty of care, we can investigate your claim and establish liability, after which we can apply for interim payments to cover the cost of additional care or lost earnings resulting from the medical negligence.
How long will my claim take?
Medical negligence claims vary significantly based on how complex the case is, and simple claims where liability is admitted are sometimes settled in less than 12 months.
However, more complex cases almost always take longer to settle, often 2-3 years on average, as it’s important not to rush a settlement, as it should take into account your suffering and any requirements to live a full life.
In cases where you require financial assistance to pay for medical care, loss of earnings, or related costs, we’ll apply for interim payments before your case is settled, so you don’t lose out while waiting for your case to finish.
Can you make a medical negligence claim on no win no fee?
Money can be a pressing concern when pursuing medical negligence claims, especially if your condition has caused a loss of earnings.
Fortunately, we offer no win no fee funding on medical negligence claims, so you can pursue a compensation claim without having to pay legal fees upfront.
At Nayyars, we believe that everyone deserves to seek rightful compensation for medical negligence, so please don’t be discouraged from making a medical negligence claim by financial stress – arrange a free consultation to discuss your claim and financial options today!
