How Does No Win No Fee Work?
A no win, no fee agreement means you can pursue your claim with confidence, without worrying about upfront legal costs. You won’t pay any solicitor’s fees at the outset, and you pay nothing if your claim is not successful, so there is no financial risk to you. We will explain your funding options clearly from the outset, so you know exactly where you stand before any work begins.
If your claim does succeed, a pre-agreed fee will be deducted from your compensation. This approach ensures you can access clear, expert legal advice and support when you need it most.
When you receive medical treatment, you expect to be cared for safely and professionally. Unfortunately, mistakes can happen and, in some cases, those mistakes can have life-changing consequences.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a No Win, No Fee medical negligence claim?
A No Win, No Fee agreement means you will not usually pay your solicitor's legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful, provided the terms of the agreement are met. We'll explain everything clearly before you decide to proceed.
How long do I have to make a medical negligence claim?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the negligent treatment or from the date you first became aware that negligence may have occurred. There are exceptions, particularly for children and people who lack mental capacity.
How much compensation could I receive?
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, financial losses and the care or treatment you require. Every claim is assessed on its individual circumstances.
Will I have to go to court?
Most medical negligence claims are resolved through negotiation without the need for a court hearing. If court proceedings become necessary, your solicitor will support and guide you throughout the process.
How do I know if I have a claim?
The best way to find out is to speak to one of our medical negligence solicitors. We can assess your circumstances, explain whether you may have a valid claim and discuss the options available to you.
