Medical Negligence: Specialist Advice and Support

Cancer Claims — missed diagnosis, delayed treatment and follow-up

When medical treatment causes unexpected harm, it can be difficult to know whether something went wrong. Medical Negligence Consultants offers a free initial discussion and can introduce suitable cases to specialist solicitors experienced in different areas of healthcare.

Medical negligence generally requires evidence that care fell below an acceptable standard and caused avoidable harm. Not every medical mistake or complication gives rise to a claim.

Medical negligence claims: FAQs

Is Medical Negligence Consultants a law firm?

No. We are a claims management company, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 836324). We refer suitable enquiries to a solicitor on our panel.

Is the assessment really free?

Yes. Our initial assessment is free and carries no obligation. If we refer you to a solicitor, they explain funding options, including any No Win No Fee arrangement, before you agree to anything.

How do you choose which solicitor handles my claim?

We match your enquiry to the panel solicitor best suited to your type of claim and circumstances.

Can I claim against the NHS?

Yes. Claims can be made about NHS or private care in England and Wales. Your solicitor will identify who is responsible, such as an NHS trust, a GP practice or a private hospital.

Does poor care always mean negligence?

No. A poor outcome is not automatically negligence. Care must have fallen below a reasonable standard and caused avoidable harm.

Can I claim for a family member who has died or cannot claim themselves?

Often, yes. A family member may be able to claim on behalf of someone who lacks capacity, or after a death. A solicitor will advise who can bring the claim.

How long does a medical negligence claim take?

It varies. Straightforward cases can take a year or two. Complex cases, such as those involving serious injury, can take longer. Your solicitor will give you a realistic view.
