Get Free Legal Advice On Claiming Compensation

If liability is admitted, no win no fee claims can take 6 to 12 months to resolve. If liability is disputed or if time is needed to conduct investigations or wait for injuries to heal, the claim could take longer.

It’s generally not advised that you accept the first compensation offer, especially if that has come before you have been examined by a medical professional as part of your claim. You should always consult your lawyer on any offer received.

If you have evidence that your injuries were caused by your employer’s negligence, then you could make a claim against them for compensation. This is even true if you no longer work for the employer. Additionally, you cannot legally be let go from your role for making a claim against your employer.

You may claim for physical injuries, but you can also claim if your employer’s negligence has caused you emotional distress. In other words, the damage can be physical, psychological, or even both.

Each medical negligence claim is different, so compensation payouts vary between claims. As such, your general damages payout will depend on the severity of your injuries and any emotional distress you may have experienced.

Your medical negligence compensation may also include special damages, which reimburses costs associated with the harm you sustained, such as prescription costs or private healthcare.
