Medical Negligence Claims

What does it cost?

There are a number of ways of funding legal fees for a Medical Negligence claim.
If you win your claim, your opponent will usually have to pay your legal costs in addition to any compensation which you receive.

Public Funding

Medical negligence compensation claims can often be highly complex and therefore costly to pursue. For this reason Public Funding (formerly Legal Aid) is available in many cases. To get public funding you have to qualify financially to receive it and we also have to show that your claim has a reasonable chance of success.
Graysons solicitors is the only law firm in North Derbyshire, and one of just a few in South Yorkshire, who can offer Legal Aid Funding for advice about a claim.

Legal Expenses Insurance

This is often included with general insurance policies such as home insurance. It may also attach as a benefit to a credit card. You may already have this type of cover and it is often suitable for funding a claim.

No win – No fee

This is the commonly used name for what is officially called a “conditional-fee agreement”. Under this type of agreement we would take on your claim on the understanding that if you lose, we will not get paid.
