Experienced Medical Negligence Solicitors
Clinical negligence can arise when a healthcare professional fails to provide an appropriate standard of care, leading to physical injury, psychological harm, or the worsening of an existing condition. The consequences can be life‑changing, affecting your health, employment and family life.
At Hansells, our medical negligence solicitors act for clients in relation to a wide range of clinical negligence claims, including:
- Missed or delayed diagnosis
- Misdiagnosis of serious medical conditions
- Delayed or inappropriate treatment
- Surgical negligence
- Hospital and NHS trust negligence
- Birth injuries and obstetric negligence
- Orthopaedic injuries and missed fractures
- Nerve damage and spinal injuries
- Amputation negligence and limb loss
- Falls in care homes and other clinical settings
Whether your treatment was provided by the NHS, a GP, hospital consultant or private healthcare provider, we can advise you on your legal options. We can also provide assistance in relation to Coroner’s Inquests and formal NHS complaints.
No Win No Fee Clinical Negligence Claims
We are able to act for many clients under a Conditional Fee Agreement, commonly known as a ‘No Win No Fee’ arrangement. This means that, in appropriate cases, you will not usually have to pay our legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, a success fee may be payable from your compensation, subject to statutory limits. We will always explain funding options clearly before you decide how to proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Negligent medical care occurs when a doctor or healthcare professional causes physical or emotional harm because the treatment they provided fell below an acceptable standard, or when they fail to spot or properly manage an existing condition. These cases can be complex to prove, which is why seeking specialist legal advice early is so important.
Situations can range widely and may involve disabled children, adults with brain injuries, fatal incidents, missed diagnoses, delays in treatment and other forms of substandard care. If you believe you’ve been affected by medical failings and want clear guidance on your options, our team is here to help you pursue the outcome you deserve.
When you speak to a specialist about your experience, they will review the circumstances in detail and explain whether your claim is likely to succeed. They’ll also give you an indication of the level of compensation you may be entitled to.
A solicitor handling these cases needs both sound legal expertise and a strong understanding of medical issues. By combining these skills, they can provide clear, realistic advice and guide you through the process with confidence.
Working with an expert greatly improves your chances of achieving a fair and positive outcome. Although compensation cannot erase the stress or pain you’ve experienced, our team will always work tirelessly to secure the best possible result for you.
You may have a claim if a healthcare professional provided care below an acceptable standard and this caused injury, worsening of your condition or avoidable complications. A solicitor can review your situation and confirm whether you meet the legal criteria to proceed.
