They will try to determine if someone else or a faulty process was responsible for your illness or injury, rather than bad luck or the result of a pre-existing condition.

It is important to note, however, that there is a three-year medical negligence claims time limit. The earlier you begin a claim, the better the chances of securing evidence required to build a case on your behalf.
How To Find The Right Medical Negligence Solicitor In Kingston-Upon-Hull For Your Case
If you are looking for the best medical negligence solicitors in Kingston-upon-Hull to handle your personal injury case, we understand that there exist more difficulties finding a reliable one. Not every solicitor out there is worth their salt. Here’s our expert advice on what you need to know before hiring a medical negligence lawyer in Kingston Upon Hull to handle your claim.
- Research about the solicitor – Before choosing a medical negligence solicitor in Kingston Upon Hull to represent you, it is important that you take time out to research about your solicitor. Doing a quick search on the internet could reveal a lot about your solicitor in a matter of minutes. You will find helpful honest reviews left by previous clients that will help guide your decision making.
- Opt for a solicitor that operates a conditional agreement (no win no fee) – Why is this important? When it comes to medical negligence claims, even the best medical negligence experts do not guarantee you 100% success. Funding your claims out-of-pockets could have you breaking the bank. And should your medical negligence solicitor fail to secure a payout for you, you bear the risk alone. A no win no fee is the best way to fund your medical negligence claims. At Medical Negligence Direct, our experts are no win no fee medical negligence solicitors. At the start of your case, they will require no legal fees whatsoever. Payment for their services is dependent on the success of your case – where they usually charge a “success fee”.
How Much Compensation Can I Receive for Medical Negligence in Kingston-Upon-Hull?
The amount of money you could make claims for will depend on the severity of your injury and its impact on your life. Compensation for medical negligence is usually grouped into two categories:
- General Damages
This is compensation for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity (PSLA) and covers the direct impact of the incident, when the injury you have suffered can be clearly linked to negligence on the part of your medical professional.
- Special Damages
This is compensation for the out-of-pocket expenses you have incurred as a direct result of the negligent treatment you suffered. Examples include travel costs, medical bills and loss of earnings/earning capacity.
Calculating how much you can claim for compensation can be complex. For instance, the compensation award for a birth injury will be very different from award for the loss of a loved one (death by medical negligence payouts UK). If you have lost a loved one due to negligent care, our medical negligence compensation calculator death can tell you how much to expect. This also applies no matter the negligent treatment you or a loved one has suffered.
