How much does it cost to make a medical negligence claim and is ‘No win, no fee’ available?

No win, no fee funding can be available in medical negligence claims. This is also known as a conditional fee agreement or CFA. A CFA, together with a legal expenses insurance policy, protects you from facing a large legal bill if you lose your case. Instead these costs are covered by the insurance policy, which your solicitor arranges on your behalf.

If you win your medical negligence claim, your legal costs and the insurance premium will mostly be paid by the defendant (for example, the doctor or NHS Trust responsible for your injuries). You will pay a part of the costs out of your compensation, but at most this will be 25% of the compensation you receive.

If you lose your claim, you will not pay any fees or costs at all.
