Most solicitors working on clinical negligence cases will work on a no-win-no-fee basis, once they are sure you have a good case. Most of the time, it is fairly straightforward. What's more, most of the time you won't have to appear in court - the doctor or hospital's insurance company will settle out of court, because they know that if they do go to court, they will probably have to pay a lot more. You might be surprised at what you can get compensation for. It is not just the pain and suffering that occurs as a direct result of what went wrong, you can claim immediate rehabilitation and treatment costs, for modifications to your home because of your illness, for counselling, care, help and nursing, for corrective private operations, for distress to your family, for lost parenting ability, for a special vehicle, for a lowered quality of life. The list is endless, and claims can run from £thousands to £millions, depending on the circumstances of your case. And the thing is that doctors record everything - they have to keep stringent records, so it is easy to prove that they are at fault. Much of the time, you just can't lose.
