Our "No Win No Fee" policy means that you won't incur legal fees unless we successfully win your case. This arrangement is designed to minimise financial risk for our clients, ensuring that you can pursue justice without the burden of upfront legal costs.

Medical negligence is when the actions or omissions of a healthcare professional result in an injury or illness. Medical negligence can happen when a medical practitioner is acting in their professional capacity, in the course of their relevant employment (or self-employment).

Patients who experience medical negligence (also called clinical negligence) are legally entitled to make a claim for compensation. This usually covers rehabilitation support, future care needs and loss of earnings. If the patient has passed away or is too unwell to make a claim themselves, their family may be able to make a claim on their behalf.

Initiating a claim with Alliance Law Solicitors is straightforward. Contact our team through our website or by phone to schedule a consultation. During the consultation, we'll gather information about your case, assess its merits, and guide you through the necessary steps to initiate the legal process.

• A&E claims

• Cancer claims

• GP negligence claims

• Nursing claims

• Surgery claims

Generally, you must initiate a medical negligence claim within three years of discovering that you have received negligent treatment.

This timeframe typically begins once you realise that your injury or illness has worsened, as the full extent of the harm may not be immediately apparent.

However, there are exceptions to this rule:

Children: Claims involving medical negligence and a child can be made at any time before the child turns 18. Once your child reaches 18, the three-year time limit applies, meaning the claim must be filed before they turn 21.

Mental Capacity: If an individual lacks the mental capacity to bring a claim themselves, there is no time limit for initiating a claim on their behalf. The limitation period only begins once the person regains capacity or a legal representative is appointed.
