Funding Your Claim
Most claims are undertaken on a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), also known as “no-win, no-fee” basis – we’ll explain how this works for your clinical negligence claim.
If you decide to bring a claim for clinical negligence, we will be able to provide you with legal support with no immediate costs to you. Only at the end of the claims process will fees have to be met. Under the terms of the CFA, if your case is successful, we will seek to recover your legal costs from the Defendant. If for any reason, your case is unsuccessful, under the terms of the CFA, we would not charge for our fees and any expenses incurred are covered by insurance which is usually obtained.

When you contact us we will undertake a free initial evaluation of your potential claim over the telephone. We will consider whether we feel that the chance of a successful outcome to your claim is over 50% and strong enough for us to take the matter on under a CFA / No Win No Fee agreement. We may need additional information from you to carry out this assessment, such as your medical records or your complaint correspondence if you have made one.
Before starting a claim you should consider three questions:
- How will I pay my solicitor’s fees?
- How will I pay expenses like Court fees and doctor’s fees
- How will I pay my opponent’s fees if I lose?
There are several ways in which a claim can be funded and we will advise you on your funding options and the potential costs that may be involved once we have completed our initial assessment of your case.
