There are four broad stages to the claim process:
1. Initial consultation
To obtain free advice before you claim or to simply talk and ask
questions call us FREE on 0800 043 4299 or use the
form to the right to arrange a call back.
If you do not want to pursue your claim after the initial
consultation you can walk away - at no expense and with no strings
attached. Anything you tell us will be dealt with in the strictest
of confidence.
2. We prepare the evidence to prove that your
hospital/doctor was to blame for your injury
In most cases we obtain the required medical evidence. We also
value your losses and expenses and establish the extent of your
injuries.
We have access to an extensive network of medical experts and
other resources. This ensures you have the best chance of winning
your case and receiving the highest level of compensation for your
injuries. The process will take longer if the opponent does not
accept blame and additional evidence is required.
3. We negotiate settlement out of court, or issue court
proceedings
We may need to issue court proceedings if, for example, the
opponent does not make any reasonable offer to settle or they
continue to deny that they are to blame for your injuries.
Even if court proceedings are issued, it does not necessarily
mean that there will be a trial because it is still possible to
achieve a settlement out of court by negotiation.
If your claim proceeds to settlement negotiations, we will
advise you on what your claim is worth and negotiate settlement. We
offer help and assistance after your claim has been concluded to
help you gain the maximum benefit from any compensation you may
receive.
4. Legal costs negotiations
If your claim succeeds and once compensation has been paid, we
will recover the costs of pursuing the claim from the losing
party.
