How our no win no fee solicitors can help with your claim

Our solicitors can assist with no win no fee claims for all types of injuries and medical negligence, including:

Personal injury claims

Accidents at work or in public places

If you’ve been injured at work due to employer negligence, unsafe conditions, or inadequate training, we pursue compensation for your injuries, lost earnings, and ongoing care needs. We handle industrial accidents, slips and falls, machinery accidents, and occupational diseases.

When accidents occur on public or private premises due to negligence, we seek compensation from property owners, retailers, and public authorities. This includes slip and trip accidents, falling objects, and inadequate maintenance.

Road traffic accidents

Our personal injury solicitors handle all types of road traffic accident claims, from minor whiplash injuries to catastrophic accidents involving life-changing injuries. We deal with car accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and cycling accidents.

Product liability

We pursue compensation when defective products cause injury, including faulty medical devices, dangerous consumer goods, and pharmaceutical side effects not properly disclosed.

Animal attacks

Dog bites, horse riding accidents, and attacks by other animals can cause serious physical and psychological trauma. Our personal injury solicitors pursue compensation from animal owners and their insurers, handling cases involving dangerous dogs, livestock accidents, and attacks in public spaces.

Asbestos

Asbestos exposure can lead to serious lung diseases, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, often developing decades after initial exposure. Our specialist asbestos team handles claims against former employers, manufacturers, and property owners.

Burns and scalding injuries

Severe burns and scalding injuries can be life-changing, requiring extensive medical treatment and leaving permanent scarring. We handle claims involving workplace accidents, faulty products, hot water systems, chemical burns, and electrical accidents.

Child abuse

We represent adult survivors of childhood abuse seeking compensation for the long-term impact of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Our sensitive and experienced solicitors handle claims against institutions, local authorities, and individuals responsible for child protection.

Food poisoning

When contaminated food or poor hygiene practices cause serious illness, we pursue compensation from restaurants, food manufacturers, hotels, and retailers. Our team handles cases involving Salmonella, E. coli, norovirus, and other foodborne illnesses that result in hospitalisation, lost earnings, and ongoing health problems.

Holiday and travel

Accidents and illness abroad can ruin holidays and cause ongoing problems. We handle holiday claims involving food poisoning, accidents at hotels, defective accommodation, and inadequate safety measures.

Sports injuries

When sports injuries result from negligent organisation, inadequate safety measures, or equipment failure, we pursue compensation from clubs, venues, and equipment manufacturers.

Medical negligence claims

Pregnancy and birth injuries, including cerebral palsy

We represent families affected by birth injuries, including cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, and other conditions caused by medical negligence during pregnancy, labour, or delivery. These complex cases require specialist expertise and substantial resources, which our No Win No Fee arrangement makes accessible.

Hospital negligence

Our medical negligence specialists handle complex hospital negligence cases, including surgical errors, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, medication mistakes, and post-operative complications. We work with leading medical experts to build strong cases against NHS trusts and private hospitals.

GP negligence

When your family doctor fails to provide appropriate care, we pursue compensation for misdiagnosis, failure to refer, medication errors, and inadequate treatment. Our team understands the complexities of primary care negligence and fights for accountability.

Mistaken diagnosis

When healthcare professionals misdiagnose conditions, patients may receive inappropriate treatment, undergo unnecessary procedures, or suffer psychological trauma from incorrect prognoses. Our diagnostic error specialists handle cases where conditions are wrongly identified, leading to delayed proper treatment, unnecessary anxiety, and sometimes harmful interventions.

Delayed diagnosis

Late diagnosis of serious conditions like cancer, heart disease, and infections can dramatically affect treatment outcomes and survival chances. Our delayed diagnosis team works with oncologists, cardiologists, and infectious disease specialists to prove that earlier diagnosis would have led to better outcomes.

Brain injuries

Medical negligence can cause devastating brain injuries through surgical errors, delayed treatment of strokes, mismanaged head trauma, or oxygen deprivation during procedures. Our specialist brain injury solicitors work with leading neurologists and neuropsychologists to demonstrate the full impact of cognitive, physical, and behavioural changes.

Spinal injuries – including cauda equina syndrome claims

Spinal cord injuries from medical negligence can result in paralysis and permanent disability. We specialise in cauda equina syndrome claims, where delayed diagnosis or treatment of this spinal emergency leads to permanent bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction.

Eye injuries and vision loss

When medical treatment damages eyesight or causes blindness, we pursue compensation for the devastating impact on quality of life and independence. Our eye injury specialists handle cases involving laser eye surgery complications, cataract surgery errors, missed glaucoma diagnosis, and retinal detachment mismanagement.

Surgical claims

Surgical errors can have catastrophic consequences, from wrong-site surgery to retained instruments and nerve damage. Our surgical negligence team handles claims involving general surgery, orthopaedic procedures, cardiac surgery, and specialist operations.

Deaths caused by medical negligence

When medical negligence leads to death, we support bereaved families through wrongful death claims and clinical negligence actions. Our compassionate team handles cases involving missed diagnoses, medication errors, surgical complications, and inadequate monitoring that contribute to preventable deaths.

Drug and medication errors

Prescription errors, wrong medications, incorrect dosages, and failure to check for drug interactions can cause serious harm or death. Our pharmaceutical negligence specialists handle cases involving hospital medication errors, GP prescribing mistakes, pharmacy dispensing errors, and inadequate monitoring of drug effects.

Dental negligence

From unnecessary extractions to failed implants and nerve damage, our dental negligence lawyers secure compensation for substandard dental treatment. We handle cases against both NHS and private dental practitioners.

Cancer misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis

When cancer is missed or misdiagnosed, the consequences can be life-changing. Our oncology negligence specialists pursue compensation for delayed diagnosis, misread scans, and inadequate follow-up care that affects treatment outcomes.

Cosmetic surgery negligence

We handle cases involving botched cosmetic procedures, surgical complications, and inadequate informed consent. Our team pursues claims against both qualified surgeons and unregulated practitioners.

Compensation claims for accidents and injuries can arise from many different circumstances, so our range of experience advising on different types of accidents and medical negligence is very important.
