Funding Your Medical Negligence Case
Most of the medical negligence claims we deal with are funded under our popular No Win, No Fee scheme, which is underwritten by a major clinical negligence insurer. This means if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be liable for any legal fees or costs.
We can also cover the expenses incurred during a claim, including court fees and medical reports.
