Never Events should not occur if medical professionals are following appropriate patient safety guidelines. Unfortunately this isn’t always the case, and sometimes serious events can happen to a patient that could have been avoided.
Often, a patient who has suffered a never event will face a longer recovery period, which can have an impact on their life in different ways. There’s the physical and mental impact, but also the financial impact. Our team of never event solicitors will work with you throughout your claim to make sure you have the support you need throughout your recovery, and ongoing should you require it.
We also know how important it is for victims of clinical negligence to receive an apology for all the harm caused. Our team will give you the appropriate legal advice and guidance should you choose to instruct us, and will work to achieve the best possible outcome.

We carry out many of our claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs for you and, provided that you have not misled or acted against the advice that we have given you, no financial risk to you – even if your claim is not successful.
In most instances we will purchase ‘After the Event’ (ATE) insurance on your behalf to cover any legal costs should you not win the case. However, if you have a ‘Before the Event’ (BTE) insurance policy included in your home, car or credit card insurance then we may look to use that insurance to cover the legal costs and an ATE policy should not then be required.

In general you have three years from the date of negligence or reasonable knowledge of mistreatment by a medical professional causing you harm to bring a medical negligence compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule; for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to our medical negligence solicitors as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
