Westminster medical negligence solicitors

At Legal Expert, available on 0800 073 8804, we are dedicated to ensuring people get the money they deserve for the injuries they have been the victim of. The first step when pursing a Westminster medical negligence claim is to have your case assessed. At Legal Expert we offer free legal advice to anyone wanting to pursue a compensation claim and as we offer a No Win No Fee service to all potential clients so our service is risk free.

In this guide, we are going to take a look at medical negligence cases specifically and using the services of Westminster medical negligence solicitors – and why using a solicitor with the right knowledge over location, may be better for your case.

So, do you have a claim? Generally speaking, the first thing you need to look at to determine whether you have reason to make a claim is who caused the incident. You cannot make a claim if you suffered an injury through your error. You have got to be able to prove that the incident was caused because of someone else’s error or negligence – in this case the healthcare professional or the medical body as a whole.

If you can do so, then you should definitely consider proceeding with your case. However, there are two additional components that are crucial as well. Firstly, you will have had to receive professional medical attention. You hardly see claims that are successful without a trip to the doctor, as there will be no proof that you have suffered an injury. In these cases, you have probably already been to the GP or hospital, and so there will be records of what has happened.

Aside from this, there is time limitations in place. A medical negligence claim in most cases must begin within three years of the incident occurring or from the date you became knowledgeable of the injury suffered. There have been some exceptions, though, so if you are unsure, do give us a call. In some cases, people do not realise that they have been the victims of medical negligence until many years later because this is when they first experience symptoms. In such a scenario, you would probably find that you have three years from your diagnosis instead.

This should give you a good idea as to whether you have reason to make a claim. Next, you can continue reading to find out everything you need to know about securing compensation for any type of medical negligence. We will explain why you do not need to work with medical negligence solicitors in Westminster specifically, as well as taking a look at specific types of clinical negligence cases so that you can get a better understanding.

How To Find The Right Solicitor For Your Medical Negligence Case

Your choice of solicitor can be the difference between a successful and unsuccessful case for private or NHS surgery compensation. Here are some tips to help you choose the right solicitor in England for your claim.

  • Read reviews from previous clients – This can be extremely insightful. You will get to discover what those who have been in your shoes think. If a solicitor has a bad reputation, you should be able to pick up on this with ease, and you will know to look elsewhere. However, one thing to remember is that you need to consider the reviews collectively. Don’t let one comment dictate your overall opinion.
  • Certification – You could check to make sure that the solicitor is certified. A lot of people tend to assume that they will be, but you can never be too sure. It is also a good idea to check certain that the solicitor’s practices are regulated.
  • UK based – It is also important to check the solicitor you choose is based in the UK and registered in the UK too. This is another thing a lot of people tend to assume is the case, but it is also a good idea to double check.
  • Experience – You will want someone that has worked on many personal injury cases before and has done so successfully. You don’t want to take a risk on someone that is just starting out. Checking a solicitor has experience in the area of personal injury law you require could be helpful. For example, if you have been injured because of a faulty product you need to choose someone that specialises in product liability cases.
  • No Win, No Fee – Last but not least, it is imperative to choose someone that is happy to work to a No Win, No Fee payment agreement. With this agreement, you only need to pay legal fees if the solicitor manages to secure a payout for you, and, therefore, monetary risk is reduced by a significant amount. This leads to other benefits, as you will experience a top quality service because the solicitor’s pay is related to performance.

Do I Need To Use A Local Medical Negligence Solicitor?

A lot of people believe that they are restricted to using Westminster medical negligence solicitors. However, this could not be further from the truth. You don’t have to choose Westminster medical negligence solicitors – you can work with any solicitor in the UK. This means you can select someone based on his or her skill level, rather than being forced to work with someone merely because they are local. Nowadays, claims are handled via email and telephone, so it really is no hindrance to your case if you do decide to work with someone based further afield. Here at Legal Expert, we provide our services across the whole of the UK.

Here are some of the medical experts based in Westminster who you could find yourself visiting as part of your claim. No matter where your solicitor is based, they should still be able to arrange you a consultation near to where you live.
