How do compensation calculators work?
Our medical negligence compensation calculator is designed to give you an idea of the amount of compensation you may be entitled to following a medical negligence incident. The numbers outlined in our compensation calculator are determined by previous settlement figures, that have been secured by our legal team for similar cases. Therefore, the calculator utilises historical medical negligence cases, as well as information from the Judicial Court, and similar cases within the industry to give you a guideline figure. It is important to note that the figures documented in this calculator are to be used as a guide only and are subject to change on a case-by-case basis and individual circumstances. In the period 2020-2021 the NHS paid out £1.36 billion for medical negligence claims.

Doctors believed it was the only method of preventing a serious infection from spreading however, doctors later realised there had been no evidence of the condition. The case was settled at £10,000.

What are compensation figures based on?
Compensation figures change from case-to-case. This is because there is various criteria considered when it comes to compensation figures, such as the injury sustained, further treatment and estimated time of recovery (if applicable). Other factors to consider include loss of earnings, psychological distress, long term adaptations to your home as well as any ongoing support, medical equipment and/or physiotherapy you may require. Assessing each claim to calculate the amount of damages to be paid out is a complex task, making it necessary to get in touch with us if you believe you have an NHS negligence claim. Our solicitors understand how to best calculate what you may receive based on your unique experience and circumstances.
Will there be anything added to my compensation figure?
If your case is successful, as per our no win no fee agreements with our clients, a pre-agreed fee will be taken from your compensation and your opponent will pay for your legal fees. This percentage changes on a case-by-case basis but is capped at 25% of your compensation by law. However, we will always advise you of the success fee before we enter into any agreement. We are completely transparent.
Further compensation may be added due to multiple injury claims, additional care costs, loss of earning, costs of necessary aids and travel expenses to and from appointments.
Will there be anything deducted to my compensation figure?
When a medical negligence case is settled in your favour, the cost of your legal fees will be covered by the other side (defendant). If your case is not successful, our no win no fee policy means you won’t have to pay a penny. If your case is successful, a pre-agreed fee will be deducted from your compensation by our solicitor and the percentage of this deduction changes on a case-by-case basis. The fees due to be deducted from your compensation will always be advised prior to entering any agreement with you.

Sarah's Story
"Now we have peace of mind"
My husband, Nick, went back and forth to the doctors for a long time and tried everything the doctor recommended. But his illness got worse, to the point that he was in agony.
In the end we got so desperate that we asked for a referral. The doctor was reluctant, so we had to consult a private hospital. That’s when we found out there was a tumour. It took years from the onset of his illness to finally start cancer treatment.

He used to be a man with a lot to live for, but in the end he was in so much pain that he withdrew from the family. He became angry that nobody had helped him sooner, and the legal team were able to give him the validation that he was desperately seeking. The NHS confirmed if they had done more, Nick would still be alive today.
