Helping to achieve the best possible outcomes for medical negligence claims in the Lymington area
Suffering an injury because of medical negligence can be a very traumatic experience for you and your loved ones. When a medical professional that you trusted with your care is negligent and you are hurt as a result, this not only causes a physical injury that has a knock-on impact on many areas of your life, it can also feel like a betrayal and that trust has been broken.
If you have experienced medical negligence, you might be able to make a compensation claim. No sum of compensation can change what has happened to you, but a settlement could help with your recovery and assist with adjustments that you might need to make to your life as you start to move forwards.
A successful claim can also help you feel that a measure of justice has been done for the incident that injured you and claims of this type can also sometimes result in changes being made to the way that things are done by medical professionals. This can help to ensure that what happened to you doesn’t happen again to others in the future.

How much compensation for medical negligence claims in Lymington?
The amount of compensation that you are likely to receive for a successful medical negligence claim in Lymington or elsewhere in England or Wales will depend on a number of different factors and individual circumstances.
A major factor is the severity of the injury you suffered and the impact that it has had on your life. It will also be taken into account whether the injury has caused permanent damage or whether some level of recovery is likely over time.
Other elements that will be taken into account when determining a reasonable sum of potential compensation include the impact of your injury on your ability to work, both now and into the future. Any expenses that you have already had to pay out as a result of the medical negligence, such as for specialist medical treatment to aid your recovery, can also be included in the claim amount.
Using our experience of working on many other medical negligence claims and our specialist knowledge in this particular area of law, we can assess your claim and provide an estimate of how much compensation you could expect if you claim is successful.

FAQs: Clinical Negligence
What qualifies as clinical negligence?
Clinical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional provides treatment or care below acceptable standards, resulting in injury, illness, or worsening of a medical condition. It typically involves proving that your healthcare provider breached their duty of care and that this breach directly caused you harm or suffering.
Is there a time limit to file a clinical negligence claim?
Yes, generally you must start your clinical negligence claim within three years from the date of the negligent act or from the date when you first discovered or became aware of the negligence. Exceptions may apply if the claim involves a child or an individual who lacks mental capacity, in these cases, different time restrictions and rules apply.
How long does the clinical negligence claim process usually take?
The length of a clinical negligence claim can vary depending on the complexity of the case, severity of injuries sustained and the willingness of the involved parties to settle. Most cases typically take between one and three years to resolve, although more complex cases may require additional time.
Will I need to go to court?
Most clinical negligence cases settle out of court through negotiations or mediation. However, if agreement cannot be reached and your claim proceeds to trial, our expert team will guide you and fully prepare you for each step of the court process.
How much will it cost to make a clinical negligence claim?
We understand that funding a legal claim can be concerning. We can offer no win, no fee arrangements, also known as Conditional Fee Agreements, and we’ll fully discuss the funding options available to ensure you clearly understand any associated costs from the outset.
