The Cost of a Clinical Negligence Claim?
All 1stclaims.co.uk solicitors will offer you a FREE, NO OBLIGATION one hour interview to discuss your claim. In certain circumstances our solicitor will travel to your home address to see you. At this initial appointment your 1stclaims.co.uk solicitor will discuss the options available to fund your case which can include any of the following methods:
- Legal expense insurance
- Trade union assistance
- Legal Aid
- No win no fee agreement
Legal expense insurance
Household contents insurance policies often provide legal expense insurance cover for taking action in claims for clinical negligence. Your 1stclaims.co.uk solicitor will consider your policy documentation and assess whether this will be a possibility.
Trade union assistance
If you or your partner is a member a trade union, this sometimes entitles you to qualify for legal assistance for a clinical negligence claim. Your 1stclaims.co.uk solicitor will consider this for you.
Legal Aid
All 1stclaims.co.uk solicitors are approved by the Legal Services Commission to undertake work on a legally aided basis if you meet the assessment criteria in terms of your financial position and the merits of the claim. Your 1stclaims.co.uk solicitor will discuss with you the legal services requirements and if you meet the criteria will complete the appropriate forms on your behalf to make an application for legal aid. If the claim is on behalf of a child they will normally receive legal aid as only the child's income and assets are taken into consideration.
No win no fee agreement
If none of the above funding options are appropriate your 1stclaims.co.uk solicitor will discuss with you whether your claim could be pursued through a conditional fee agreement. This is an agreement where you if you win your claim you receive 100% of your compensation but there are no charges if you don't.
