What Is A No Win No Fee Medical Negligence Claim?

No win no fee medical negligence claims are available in some countries to give claimants the opportunity to bring a legal case without the risk of paying costs, should they lose. However, the costs can be substantial for clients who win their claim under this type of agreement, and these are deducted from the compensation they receive.

In Northern Ireland, solicitors are not permitted to enter into agreements where they will be paid only if they are successful. This means that no win no fee representation is not possible.

Alternatives To No Win No Fee

After The Event Insurance

At McGee Solicitors, we are able to offer an alternative to no win no fee which means you can still make a claim for medical negligence compensation without any financial risk. We can arrange a legal costs insurance policy that will cover your costs in the event that your claim is not successful. If you win your case, a modest premium is payable to cover the cost of the insurance policy.

It is usually the case that the other side will pay your reasonable legal costs if you win. You can also expect them to pay if you settle your case out of court.

Legal Aid Funding

In some cases, you may be eligible for Legal Aid funding. If you ring us, we can go through your circumstances and let you know whether this is an option for you. If it is, we will make the application on your behalf.

Legal Expenses Insurance

It is possible that you may have legal expenses insurance included on your home insurance or car insurance policy and we always recommend that you check this. If you do, you have the right to use the solicitor of your choice to represent you. We always recommend that you choose a solicitor with genuine expertise in dealing with medical negligence claims.

When Can I Make A Medical Negligence Claim?

If you have received medical treatment that fell below the standard you could reasonably expect from a professional and you were harmed as a result, you are likely to be able to make a medical negligence compensation claim.

This includes if you suffered injuries as well as if you are experiencing psychological difficulties after an incident.

It is also the case that if your doctor or hospital failed to diagnose a condition when they should have done or gave you an incorrect diagnosis, you could have a claim if your condition has worsened as a result.

How Much Compensation For Medical Negligence?

The amount of compensation you will receive will depend on several factors, including the severity of your injuries or the extent to which your condition has worsened.
If you have been unable to work, then you could receive compensation for the loss of income you are experiencing. If you are likely to be unable to work in the future or your career progression will be lower, then you could also be compensated for this.

We will ask a medical expert to examine you and prepare a report on what has happened and the injuries you have suffered. They will also be able to provide a prognosis that we can use when negotiating the amount of your settlement.

Your compensation will fall into two categories:

• General damages; and
• Special damages

General damages consists of compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the incident. It also includes compensation for loss of quality of life, for example, if you are unable to be as active as you were before.

Special damages relate to specific financial losses, including loss of earnings, prescription charges, the cost of travel to medical appointments and any specialist equipment you may need.

If you would like to know roughly how much you might be entitled to in respect of your case, please ring us to speak to one of our medical negligence lawyers. We will go through your circumstances with you and give you our professional opinion of the value of your claim.

Do I Have To Go To Court For Medical Negligence Compensation?

We will set out your case to the insurance company representing your healthcare provider and let them know that you are claiming compensation. If they admit liability for what has happened, we can then negotiate with them to try and agree on a sum in compensation. We will take into account how the negligence has affected you and provide evidence of the financial losses you have suffered.

We are robust negotiators and we are routinely able to settle medical negligence claims out of court.

If the other side does not admit liability or the amount that they offer is not enough to fully compensate you, we can take your case to court. We will make sure that you have all the support you need to prepare for this and that you are represented by an expert medical negligence advocate.
