At OH Parsons, we understand the profound impact medical negligence can have on your life.
Whether you’ve suffered from misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or inadequate treatment, our dedicated team is here to guide you through the complexities of legal proceedings with empathy and expertise.
Medical negligence is often termed as ‘clinical negligence’. It means a breach of duty by a doctor, nurse, dentist, midwife, surgeon or any member of staff in a healthcare or medical profession, that results in an avoidable medical problem or harm to a patient
To make a medical negligence claim with OH Parsons, you will first need to provide the necessary details of your negligence experience before we assign you a specialist medical negligence solicitor. The solicitor will begin by collecting any relevant medical records, witness statements, and other key documents to build the case.
If applicable, our experts will then contact independent medical experts to determine whether the treatment you received fell below the standard you were entitled to expect. We will also consider whether the injuries caused by assumed medical negligence would have been avoidable
The process of claiming for medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence, can indeed be complex. However, with our medical negligence solicitors by extensive experience, ensuring you receive top-notch support throughout your claim.
Here’s a step-by-step overview of how the medical negligence claims process typically unfolds:
Your lawyer will thoroughly discuss your case, gather relevant medical records, and obtain information from witnesses present during the treatment.
Medical experts will assess if your treatment met professional standards and if your injury was preventable.
Your lawyer will engage in negotiations with the healthcare provider or insurer. The goal is to achieve a fair settlement without resorting to court proceedings.
If negotiations fail to reach a satisfactory resolution, your case may proceed to court. There, a judge will consider presented evidence and arguments to make a final decision.
Throughout this process, our no win, no fee structure ensures that you won’t have to worry about legal fees if your case is unsuccessful. If your claim is successful, the fees are typically covered by a portion of the compensation you receive. This approach provides financial accessibility to all, especially during these times of a cost of living crisis and budget constraints.
We understand that medical negligence claims can be emotionally challenging and financially daunting, but our team is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you receive the compensation and justice you deserve
At OH Parsons, we prioritise accessibility and peace of mind for our clients. Through Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs), we offer a no win, no fee service, eliminating the financial risk associated with initiating a medical negligence claim.

The judge found that the claimant’s work had made a material contribution to his injury and that if it wasn’t for the injury the claimant would have continued to do this job until the age of 67 and was awarded over £508,000.
This case settled at JSM for £4.15m, net of any deduction for alleged contributory negligence. Whilst not formally sub-divided, the award is broadly commensurate with care and assistance of over £2m, general damages of £335k, loss of earnings of £450k, accommodation of £350k, travel/transport expenses of over £200k, case management of £350k and equipment of £200k, plus lesser heads of loss.

Medical negligence, also known as medical malpractice or clinical negligence, occurs when a healthcare professional or institution breaches their duty of care towards a patient, resulting in harm, injury, or worsened medical conditions. This breach of duty can encompass various aspects of healthcare, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, prescription mistakes, failure to warn of risks, and more. If you’ve suffered harm due to a healthcare provider’s negligent actions, you may have a valid medical negligence claim.
In the United Kingdom, there are legal time limits, known as the statute of limitations, that determine how long you have to make a medical negligence claim. Generally, you have three years from the date of the negligence or the date you became aware of it to initiate a claim. There can be exceptions, especially in cases involving children or individuals with mental health issues. It’s crucial to seek legal advice promptly to understand the specific time limits that apply to your situation.
Yes, you can pursue a medical negligence claim for a loved one’s wrongful death. In cases where medical negligence contributed to or caused the
death of a family member, you have the legal right to seek compensation through a wrongful death claim. This claim can cover various damages, including funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and general damages for the pain and suffering experienced by the deceased before their death. Consulting with experienced lawyers is crucial to navigate this complex process and secure the compensation your family deserves.
Many individuals worry about the cost of pursuing a medical negligence claim. However, at OH Parsons we offer ‘no win, no fee’ arrangements, also known as conditional fee agreements. Under this arrangement, you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful, making justice more accessible and reducing financial risk. Additionally, there are insurance options available, such as After the Event (ATE) insurance, that can cover legal expenses in case your claim is unsuccessful.
The duration of a medical negligence claim can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case and whether the liable party admits fault. Some claims can be resolved in a matter of months, while others may take several years. It’s essential to have realistic
expectations about the timeline and to work with experienced solicitors who can provide a clearer estimate based on the specific details of your case.
