Medical Negligence Solicitors
If you are contemplating making a claim for Medical negligence then you will need to find a Solicitor that
specialises in this field.
In this section we will discuss who you should contact, which type of Solicitor is best and the financial
implications of pursuing this course of action, to enable you to make the right choice.
You will also find a directory of Law firms in the major cities known to specialise in this field.
Who should I contact?
You do not need to advise the Medical centre that you are complaining about of your intention to pursue a claim
against them. It is better to contact a Solicitor first of all and take advice from them before proceeding any
further.
There are different protocols that have to be followed and your Solicitor will act in your best interests to
ensure that you have the best advice possible before proceeding with your claim.
Who should I use?
You may be confused as to whether you need to approach a Solicitor directly or go through a company that
advertise their services as Medical Negligence Solicitors.
The truth is that it is entirely up to you. You should, however, ensure that your initial contact offers free
telephone consultation. If they do not, you can choose someone else. Remember that you are effectively hiring
someone and the ultimate choice as to which person gets your business is yours and yours alone. Do not feel
pressured into accepting the first one that you contact.
How much will it cost me?
There are a variety of options available to you when considering making a claim for Medical Negligence.
Your Solicitor will advise you of the course of action that they feel to be best for you. You may want to have a
no win no fee agreement which means that you do not have any initial outlay when making your claim.
You may be entitled to Legal Aid and again your Solicitor will explain to you exactly which option will be best
for you should you proceed with your claim for compensation.
How do I find a Solicitor
As previously discussed, you may want to use your local High Street Solicitor or you could opt for one of the
national companies that advertise their services as Medical Negligence Solicitors. You can find these companies
advertising everywhere.
Some of the best known national ones in the UK are www.Hospitalnegligence.co.uk, www.Medicalsolicitors.co.uk and www.TheMedicalNegligenceSolicitors.co.uk.
Now you know who to contact, which type of Solicitor to use, how to find your Solicitor and the idea of costs,
you can be more confident in taking your claim for compensation forward to the next step.
Remember that you are in control of who you engage and whose services you feel most comfortable with. You have a
right to be treated with respect and be kept updated every step of the way in what has already been a very
traumatic time for you.
