Funding Medical Negligence Claims
Medical negligence claims can be very expensive and it is therefore advisable that, early in the legal process, you speak to a solicitor about how you are going to fund your claim.
If you are considering starting a medical negligence claim, JMW’s friendly, knowledgeable legal team will be happy to provide advice and guidance on the funding opportunities available.

Medical Negligence Claim Funding Options
There are 5 ways of funding a medical negligence claim:
- Conditional Fee Agreement ("No Win-No fee"): We offer the no win, no fee scheme for medical negligence claims. Speak to us today and a specialist will assess your situation.
- Legal Aid: Certain medical negligence claims may be eligible for legal aid. Before we can decide whether you are eligible for legal aid we will need to assess your financial situation in detail.
- Legal Expense Insurance: some insurance policies (e.g. Home Contents Insurance) will cover you for medico-legal claims.
- Private Funding: the cost of funding your claim will largely depend on how complex it is. We will give you an estimate of the total cost before you make a final decision to proceed.
- Trade Union Funding: if you are a member of a trade union, a benefit of membership may include legal expense cover.
We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case regardless of how it may be funded.
