Our Medical Negligence Claims Process

Our medical negligence solicitors follow a structured five-step approach designed to build the strongest possible case while providing you with clear guidance throughout the process. This methodical approach ensures we gather all necessary evidence and expert opinions to maximise your chances of success. 

1. Free Initial Assessment  

We provide a comprehensive review of your case at no cost during an initial consultation. Our medical negligence solicitors assess whether you have grounds for a claim, explain the legal process clearly, and provide honest advice about your prospects of success. 

2. Medical Records Review and Expert Analysis  

We obtain all relevant medical records from hospitals, GP practices, and other healthcare providers involved in your care. Our medical negligence solicitors then arrange for independent medical experts to review your treatment and provide professional opinions on the standard of care received. 

3. Legal Merit Assessment  

Our medical negligence solicitors assess the strength of your case, considering both breach of duty and causation elements. We evaluate whether the healthcare provider fell below accepted standards and whether this breach caused your injuries or made them worse than they would otherwise have been. 

4. Letter of Claim and Response  

We formally notify the healthcare provider of your claim, setting out the allegations and supporting evidence in detail. Our medical negligence solicitors then carefully assess their response and engage in negotiations where appropriate to achieve early resolution. 

5. Settlement Negotiation or Court Proceedings  

Most medical negligence claims settle through negotiation without going to court. If court proceedings become necessary, our experienced medical negligence solicitors provide expert representation throughout the litigation process to secure maximum compensation.
