Clinical Negligence - Funding

The vast majority our claims are funded pursuant to a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) otherwise called 'no win no fee' agreements.

There are no hidden extras and the procedure is very simple. We are first required to pursue standard checks to ascertain whether you may have the benefit of any pre-existing legal expense insurance; in the absence of insurance funding then, providing we are satisfied that your claim has reasonable prospects of success, we will offer to enter into a CFA.

It is usually the case that you will not have to pay any costs or expenses at all. If the claim fails the costs are written off; if the claim succeeds the other party will pay your damages in addition to legal costs. You receive 100% of any damages paid and we receive the legal costs plus a 'success fee' which is a mark up allowed because we have taken the risk that the claim may fail and that we will recover no costs. The success fee is usually 100%, which explains why we are prepared to run claims on this basis.
