How Does No Win No Fee Work? Medical Negligence Claims

Medical Negligence Compensation Claims Process

Every claim starts with a free initial assessment by phone, or in person – whichever you’d prefer.
After we have established that you have a claim we will set up a No Win, No Fee funding agreement.
Once your funding has been arranged, we will obtain and review your medical records.
This next step is flexible depending on the strength of your claim (based on the available evidence):
1. We prepare a Letter of Claim
2. We obtain expert medical opinion and then prepare a Letter of Claim
3. We prepare a Letter of Notification (in cases where there is obvious negligence by the defendant)
4. We obtain advice from a barrister.
The defendants then have four months to obtain expert medical evidence and respond to the claim

For David Simpson, Partner and Head of the Medical Negligence Department:

“It is so refreshing dealing with a firm of such honesty and integrity. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Coles Miller to my friends and family.”

For Lydia Barnett, Partner:

“After undergoing surgery I was left infertile. I had my initial consultation with Lydia in which she made me feel completely at ease. She understood the physical and psychological implications of my claim. These types of claims can take a long time and I was concerned it would have a big impact on my life. Lydia has always been professional, honest and thoughtful and contacted me only when required. She always got back to me quickly when I have had questions. I cannot recommend Lydia and Coles Miller enough.”

For David Simpson, Partner and Head of the Medical Negligence Department:

“I wanted to say how much you have helped me. You will never know how much, I'm so grateful and you have been so amazing and been so professional, communication was fantastic I cannot tell you enough how grateful, thankful and appreciative I am to you for all your hard work..”
