If you have any additional costs associated with your injuries, such as unexpected medical bills, transport costs or if your injuries caused you to suffer a loss of income, you can also claim expenses for these financial losses. How much is an NHS compensation, or private healthcare compensation claim worth? Some medical negligence compensation awards are within the tens of thousands of pounds.

What Is The Process Of A Medical Negligence Claim?
Before we look in detail at the clinical negligence claims process, let’s define what we mean when we talk about medical negligence. Medical negligence, also known as medical malpractice, or clinical negligence, is when a patient receives substandard medical care from a medical practitioner.
This negligent action or inaction, causes the patient to be harmed, this could be an injury, illness, or the medical condition that they already suffer from could be made worse. All medical practitioners owe their patients a duty of care. If the patient can prove that the negligence from the healthcare professional broke the duty of care that they were owed, then they are likely to be awarded medical negligence compensation.
A lot of clients wonder if the process of a medical negligence claim is different, if you are claiming compensation from the NHS for negligence, or a private healthcare provider. The process of claiming medical negligence compensation is actually the same, whether you are claiming compensation from the NHS, or a private healthcare company.
Another question we frequently hear is “Regarding NHS compensation, how much can I claim?” The answer to this question really does depend on the severity of your injuries, the level of responsibility your healthcare provider played in your injuries and other complicated legal and medical factors. We recommend you call Legal Expert to speak to one of our friendly advisors, who will be able to give you an accurate estimate of what your claim is worth, based on the individual circumstances of your clinical negligence case.
To claim medical negligence compensation, you need to hire a medical negligence solicitor to represent your claim. Why do you need a medical negligence solicitor? Firstly, they have an in-depth understanding of the law and will know how to fight your claim.
They also know how much your compensation claim is worth, and will ensure that the defendant (in this case the healthcare provider that treated you) doesn’t lowball you. They will also be responsible for collecting the correct evidence to provide your medical negligence claim is valid. Your medical negligence solicitor will also be responsible for contacting the defendant and handling the claim from your side.
How long does the process of a medical negligence claim usually take? Commonly, a medical negligence claim can just take a few months to be resolved. This will be the case if the Defendant does not dispute their liability, and the circumstances of the case are less complicated from a legal or medical point of view. If the circumstances of the case are more complicated, or the Defendant refuses to admit liability then your case may have to go to court and take longer to be resolved.
Speaking of timings. You should also be aware of the statute of limitations on medical negligence claims in England and Wales. This means that if you wish to claim personal injury compensation from a healthcare provider, or in any other context, you only have 3 years from the time that you discovered that you had been injured by medical negligence, or the medical negligence took place to begin your claim for medical negligence compensation.

Does It Matter Where My Solicitor Is Located?
Clients often ask us “Does it matter where my solicitor is located?”. This is a valid concern, as many compensation Claimants worry that if the solicitor’s firm is not based near where they live, it will be difficult to be consulted by them and stay in ongoing communication throughout the case. This really needn’t be a worry though.
At Legal Expert we will prioritise finding the most suitable solicitor to handle your claim, so you may be matched with a solicitor that covers the Ellesmere Port area, rather than one with offices that are based there. Other factors Legal Expert prioritise over location include quality of service provided by the solicitor’s firm, their track record for winning claims, whether or not you can make a No Win No Fee claim and whether or not they are experienced in dealing with claims like yours.
If you are assigned a solicitor that is based further afield than where you live, we will ensure that you are consulted and keep in regular contact with them remotely. Any medical examinations or appointments you have to attend will be arranged near to where you live.
