Common Questions asked of our Gloucestershire Solicitors

How do I choose medical negligence solicitors in Gloucester?

When selecting medical negligence solicitors, it’s important to choose expert medical negligence solicitors who have both extensive medical knowledge and a proven track record handling clinical negligence claims. Our team has extensive experience managing medical negligence cases, including birth injury claims, brain injury, surgical errors, and cancer misdiagnosis. We offer a free initial consultation so you can discuss your circumstances, review your medical records, and assess the service provided and the expertise we bring to your case.

What is a medical negligence claim, and how much compensation can I get?

A medical negligence claim arises when negligent medical treatment by a medical professional or other healthcare professional causes injury. The compensation awarded depends on the severity of the injuries caused, the number of professionals involved, and the impact of the negligence. According to NHS Resolution, many claims result in claim compensation between £1,001 and £25,000. During your initial consultation, we will explain the claims process, the litigation process, and provide guidance on how much compensation you may be entitled to, including for birth injuries or late diagnosis cases.

How much do medical negligence solicitors charge?

We operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, which means there are no upfront fees involved for you or your family.

You can pursue a compensation claim without worrying about financial risk, while we work to secure the best possible outcome.

If you or a loved one has suffered due to negligent treatment, it is crucial to speak with legal experts as soon as possible. Acting promptly ensures that medical records are available, potential claims are protected, and time limits for filing claims are met. Early action also allows our medical negligence claims solicitors to involve medical experts and independent experts if required, strengthening your case.
