Medical Negligence Claims with Claims24hours

When you go to a doctor, dentist, nurse, or hospital, you expect safe and professional care. Unfortunately, mistakes can happen, and the results may be devastating for you and your family. Medical negligence can leave you facing long recovery periods, ongoing health problems, financial stress, and emotional trauma.

At Claims24hours, we understand how overwhelming this can feel. That’s why we are here to help you pursue justice and secure fair compensation. With our expertise, you don’t have to face the process alone — we’ll guide you every step of the way.

What Can You Claim For?

If you’ve suffered harm due to medical negligence, you may be able to claim for:

  • Physical pain and emotional suffering.
  • Loss of income if you couldn’t work.
  • Rehabilitation costs and ongoing medical treatment.
  • Adaptations to your home or lifestyle changes caused by your injury.
  • Additional expenses such as travel, specialist care, or childcare.

Compensation is designed not just to cover financial losses, but also to recognise the impact negligence has had on your quality of life.

 

Types of Medical Negligence Cases

Medical negligence can occur in many different settings. At Claims24hours.co.uk, we regularly support clients with:

Misdiagnosis – When an illness or condition is diagnosed incorrectly or too late, causing delays in treatment and avoidable suffering.
Surgical Errors – Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving foreign objects inside the body, or causing unnecessary injury.
Birth Injuries – Harm caused to mothers or babies during childbirth due to mistakes or delays in treatment.
Medication Errors – Being prescribed the wrong medicine or the wrong dosage, leading to serious complications.
Hospital Negligence – Poor hygiene, staff shortages, or administrative mistakes leading to infection, delayed treatment, or preventable harm.
Dental Negligence – Errors made by dentists that result in pain, damage, or unnecessary procedures.

These are only examples. If you’ve experienced harm that you believe was caused by medical professionals, you may have grounds to make a claim.

How Much Compensation Could You Receive?

The amount of compensation depends on several factors: the seriousness of your injury, the financial losses you’ve suffered, and how your life has been affected in the long term. Someone who suffers a short-term injury may receive less than someone left permanently disabled, but both cases deserve fair consideration.

At Claims24hours, we take the time to understand your situation in detail. We calculate both your general damages (pain and suffering) and special damages (financial losses) to make sure nothing is overlooked.

 

The Claims Process Explained

Making a medical negligence claim might feel complicated, but our role is to make it straightforward for you. The process usually involves:

  1. Listening to your story and assessing whether you have a valid claim.
  2. Gathering evidence, including medical reports and expert opinions.
  3. Identifying the healthcare provider or organisation responsible.
  4. Negotiating with their insurers to reach a fair settlement.
  5. Taking the case to court if necessary, though most claims are resolved before trial.

With Claims24hours, you’ll always know what stage your case is at and what happens next.

Medical Negligence Claims Get the Support You Deserve

Most doctors, nurses, and medical staff work hard to provide excellent care. But sometimes, mistakes happen—and they can have serious, life-changing effects on your health and wellbeing.

At Claims 24 Hours, we understand how upsetting it can be when you visit a doctor, dentist, or hospital and don’t receive the care you expected. You put your trust in medical professionals, and when that trust is broken, it can leave you feeling frustrated, anxious, and let down.

If you or a loved one has received poor or negligent medical treatment, you may be eligible to make a medical negligence claim. This includes errors in diagnosis, surgery, prescriptions, or general care.

Step 01 - Start Your Claim

You get in touch and tell us what happened. We’ll ask a few questions to understand your situation and check if you have a valid claim.

Step 02 : We Investigate

Your solicitor will gather evidence, speak to experts if needed, and contact the other side. This part follows the official rules called the Pre-Action Protocol—a legal process designed to keep things fair and efficient.

Step 03 : You Get Results

 If your claim is successful, you’ll receive compensation. Most cases are settled without going to court, but if needed, your solicitor will guide you through every step.

Other Important Information You Should Know

We believe in being upfront and honest, so here are a few key things to keep in mind before starting your claim:

  •  No Win, No Fee – What It Means

All our cases are handled on a no win, no fee basis. That means if your claim isn’t successful, you won’t pay your solicitor’s fee. However, in some situations, other costs may apply—your solicitor will explain everything clearly before you go ahead.

Most clients pay 25% of their compensation (including VAT) to their law firm, but this can vary depending on your case. To keep things risk-free, your solicitor may also arrange insurance to cover any unexpected costs.

Termination fees may apply if:

  • You stop cooperating
  • You give false or misleading information
  • You miss medical exams, expert appointments, or court hearings

We’re here to help, but we also need your full support to make your claim successful.

  •  Criminal Injury Claims

If you’ve been the victim of a crime and want to claim compensation, you don’t need to use a claims company. You can apply for free directly to:

  • The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) – for England, Wales, and Scotland
  • The Criminal Injury Compensation Scheme – for Northern Ireland

These official bodies handle claims fairly and securely.

  • Road Accident Claims

If you’ve had a minor road accident or were hit by an uninsured or untraced driver, you can also claim for free through:

  • The OIC Portal
  • The Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB)
