Our no-win-no-fee solicitors can help you to claim compensation if you have suffered as a result of clinical negligence.
Medical Negligence Claims
Medical negligence is when mistakes have been made by a medical professional, whether privately or on the NHS, either at diagnosis or during treatment of a medical condition.
Common causes include surgical errors, delayed diagnoses, medication mistakes and communication failures. The NHS Resolution 2024-25 annual report shows both the number of claims and average compensation paid continue to rise year on year.
To make a claim, you must show that the standard of care fell below what it should have been, and that this directly caused your injury or losses.
Types of Medical Negligence:
Compensation for Medical Negligence
We aim to make the medical negligence claims process as stress-free as possible. Our experienced team, along with specialist medical negligence solicitors, will handle your claim sensitively and professionally. They will speak to you about your experience, gather the evidence, and secure the compensation you deserve – covering loss of earnings, travel, medical bills, rehabilitation and other related costs.
Our nationwide solicitors work on a no-win-no-fee basis, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement. If your claim is unsuccessful, you pay nothing. If it succeeds, a success fee – capped at 25% of your damages – is deducted, so costs are clear from day one.
Mayiclaim was recognised at the British Claims Awards 2026, reflecting the standard of care and expertise we bring to every case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Negligence Claims
What are medical negligence compensation claims on a No Win No Fee basis?
A No Win No Fee agreement means you do not pay upfront legal costs. Your solicitor covers the expenses while your case is ongoing. You only pay a capped success fee if your claim is successful. If the case is unsuccessful, you typically pay nothing.
How long do I have to start a claim?
In the UK, the general time limit is three years. This starts from the date of the injury or the date you became aware of the harm. There are exceptions for children and lacking mental capacity, so it is always safer to seek prompt legal advice.
What do I need to prove to win my case?
You must show that a healthcare professional breached their duty of care. You also need to prove that this breach directly caused your avoidable harm. Our solicitors help you gather medical records and secure expert opinions to support your case.
Are all medical mistakes legally considered negligence?
No, not every poor medical outcome is due to negligence. Some adverse results are unavoidable or represent known risks of the treatment. A claim is only valid if the standard of care falls below acceptable medical standards and directly damages your health.
Can I claim compensation if my treatment was private?
Yes, you can pursue a claim for negligence during private treatment just as you would with NHS care. The process requires similar proof of substandard care and resulting injury. You can complete our quick claim form to see if your private healthcare case is eligible.
