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.

Call 0800 054 6512 for a free initial consultation with JMW’s medical negligence solicitors, or e-mail us and we will be in touch to discuss your funding options and make an assessment of your claim

Medical Negligence Claim Funding Options

There are 5 ways of funding a medical negligence claim:

• 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.
• Conditional Fee ("No Win-No fee"): We may be willing to take on a case on this basis.
• 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.
