Common questions
Useful answers before you choose a solicitor.
You must show that the care fell below the standard of a reasonably competent practitioner and that this caused you harm, on the balance of probabilities. Both elements are proved with independent expert medical evidence. An experienced clinical negligence solicitor will review your records free of charge and tell you honestly whether the case is worth pursuing.
Straightforward cases can settle within a couple of years, but complex claims, particularly birth injury and brain injury cases, often take several years because the full extent of the harm must be understood before value can be agreed. Settling too early risks under-compensating an injury that will need care for life.
Successful claims are paid by the NHS Resolution or the healthcare provider's insurer, not by the treating doctor personally and not out of hospital budgets in a way that affects your care. Reporting concerns and claiming compensation are entirely compatible, and many claimants continue to be treated by the same service.
Yes, and these claims are among the most valuable in this field because compensation must fund lifelong care. Claims for children can be brought at any time before their eighteenth birthday, and longer if they lack capacity, but earlier advice protects the evidence and the child's interests sooner.
