Funding Medical Negligence Claims

Funding Birth Injury Claims

When thinking about claiming compensation for a birth injury, it is normal to have concerns about the costs involved and how you will cover them. We work on a no win no fee basis which means that families can pursue justice, regardless of their financial position.

There is no cost – at all – unless, and until, we win the case. Proving that a significant birth injury was caused by avoidable medical errors requires the extensive expertise of specialist lawyers coupled with several independent medical experts.

Uncovering the truth of what happened and proving that it could have been prevented with better medical care is critical for families. It can be done without the added worry of the expense.

No win, no fee birth injury claims

Also known as a ‘conditional fee agreement’, this type of arrangement means you only pay our fees, and the insurance premium for your claim, if we manage to secure compensation for you.

There is no cost to you to start a no win, no fee birth injury claim and no financial risk. If your claim fails, you will not owe us anything.

Legal aid for birth injury claims

Legal Aid was withdrawn by the UK government for most types of clinical negligence claims in April 2013. However, Legal Aid funding is still available for some birth injury claims depending on the circumstances.

 

Unfortunately, we no longer offer Legal Aid funding as we prefer to be free to select our own medical experts to assist in delivering the best outcomes for families.

Costs involved only after a birth injury claim is successfully concluded

There are two costs that are payable only if, and when, a claim is successfully concluded and compensation secured:

1)      Legal fees – we will explain our fee structure during your initial meeting with our team so you have a clear picture of how these costs work

2)      Insurance premium – this covers the costs of the independent medical experts who helped win your claim

We will make sure that all of the costs involved in making a birth injury claim are clearly explained to you at the outset. We will then keep you regularly updated about the time we have spent and the associated costs as your case progresses, so you always stay on top of the costs involved in your case.

Funding Options For Other Medical Negligence Claims

There are various options for funding other medical negligence claims with our team representing most of our clients on a no win, no fee basis. This means there is normally no upfront cost to start a claim and no cost to you if your claim does not succeed.

There are often upfront fees from medical experts to allow us to obtain screening reports to assess whether there is a claim.

If we require a screening report at your expense, we will discuss this with you in advance of obtaining any report and the costs involved. If your claim is successful, the cost of this report will be reimbursed from the Defendant.
