How much do clinical negligence solicitors charge and could I have to pay if my claim is unsuccessful?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

Many clinical negligence solicitors offer a conditional fee agreement, commonly called a no-win, no-fee arrangement, although terms vary between firms. If the claim succeeds, a success fee may be deducted from your compensation, usually subject to a legal cap, and you may also need to consider an after-the-event insurance premium. If the claim is unsuccessful, you might still face certain costs, depending on the agreement and the circumstances. Ask a solicitor regulated by the SRA for a written costs explanation, including any deductions, before proceeding.
