Making a Cerebral Palsy Claim: No Win No Fee Solicitors

Making a cerebral palsy claim

Our Legal 500 recommended lawyers will provide you with a free assessment of any potential cerebral palsy claim and can work on a no win, no fee basis. Simply call our FREE legal helpline on 0333 888 0412 or email us at info@medicalaccidentlawyers.co.uk

Cerebral palsy cases, involving (as they nearly always do) interrupted blood or oxygen provision to the brain, are usually linked to either birth injuries or problems arising from major surgery. Brain damage of this type can also arise from very serious infections.

Cerebral palsy symptoms can vary widely, from the barely perceptible, to the very seriously disabling. Accordingly, the potential value of a cerebral palsy compensation claim can equally vary from a very modest award to compensation involving many millions of pounds in the most severe of cases.

How we can help you with your cerebral palsy claim

As with all medical injury claims, a very careful analysis of the patient’s medical notes and history, along with specialist expert evidence, is crucial to establishing a strong case. We have a great deal of combined experience in dealing with these cases and are always happy to have an informal chat.

Our medical accident lawyers have been rated as one of the best teams in the UK, and operate on a fully funded, no win, no fee basis.

Although claims should usually be brought within three years of the patient becoming aware that negligence may have been involved, this time limit doesn’t not start to run until the injured individual turns 18 years of age. And if the victim lacks mental capacity there is no time bar at all.

To discover more about making a cerebral palsy claim and for further information on how our no win, no fee funding scheme works, call our FREE legal helpline on 0333 888 0412 or email us at info@medicalaccidentlawyers.co.uk

Maddy Lawrence
“With the premature death of our eldest daughter, as it turned out, by clinical negligence, we were facing a very difficult journey both in proving fault and keeping heart and soul together. That we were able to, in terms of the fault element, was down to our professional legal team. They provided clear, calm and compassionate advice which got us through a horrendous inquest and subsequent legal maneuverers. They, in short, were magnificent and we are extremely grateful that we had them on our side.”
Great firm!
“I had an experience with Oliver Thorne who was nothing but helpful with settling my claim. He was very patient and professional as well as making sure I was happy and content throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a solicitor!”
Excellent solicitor
“I cannot recommend this firm highly enough and especially Caroline who is professional approachable and thorough, she works tirelessly and is a real credit to the firm, you are not made to feel like just a number as with other firms, it’s a pleasure to have such an excellent solicitor to represent you when you have gone through so much she is so understanding and knowledgeable.”
Friendly, professional, knowledgeable.
“Oliver assisted me in the aftermath of my father’s sudden death in hospital. He helped me to draught my initial letter of complaint to the health authority, represented me and my mother at the inquest and ultimately succeeded in bringing a successful claim. I always felt I could approach Oliver with any questions and he would explain the legal processes in an understandable way. I would not hesitate to recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar unfortunate position.”
Exceptional Service
“I have received expert advice throughout my case, the attention to detail is second to none. Their professional outlook and relatability means that I always recommend the firm. When I was unclear of any information or possible outcomes they took the time to speak with me on a personal level, confirming our conversation through email, I feel supported and understood and most of all they are empathetic, something that is often missing from large firms.”
Thank you
“On behalf of all of us, we would like to thank you for your guidance, professionalism, humanity and kindness you have shown us all throughout this process. You have explained everything to us in clear and concise terms throughout and we are extremely grateful. We would have no hesitation recommending you and using your services in future. Thank you.”
