There is no single UK-wide success rate because medical negligence claims vary greatly by the treatment, evidence, injury and healthcare provider involved. Published figures may cover only particular types of NHS claims or cases that reached a certain stage, so they should not be treated as a prediction for an individual claim. A solicitor will usually assess medical records, expert evidence, causation and whether the claim was brought within the relevant time limit before advising on prospects. Consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the SRA who regularly handles medical negligence work.
