Medical negligence claims, otherwise known as clinical negligence, arise from unacceptable levels of healthcare given to patients by medical professionals. Our expert medical negligence solicitors in Liverpool will assess your claim and take steps to ensure you’re rightly compensated.
To successfully receive clinical negligence compensation, it’s important to show that the healthcare professional had a duty of care toward the patient and that this was breached. There also needs to be proof that this breach caused harm to the patient, resulting in damages and other losses. Poor treatment or human error can make existing conditions worse or cause additional conditions.
In the UK, NHS England paid out a record £3.6 billion in clinical negligence compensation in 2024/25*. We deal with claims in many different areas of medicine, from urology and oncology to cosmetic surgery, seeking justice for medical negligence is our focus.
In many clinical negligence cases, we can offer a ‘No Win, No Fee’ service too, so get in touch for more information.

Our clinical negligence solicitors work hard for the best outcome.
A medical negligence claim can arise when a healthcare provider with a duty of care fails to provide an acceptable standard of treatment, and this causes harm to a patient.
Examples include:
If you have been a victim of poor medical care, you may be entitled to seek medical negligence compensation for your injuries and financial losses.
Raising a medical negligence claim should not interfere with your ongoing health treatment. All healthcare providers remain under a duty to continue providing appropriate care, regardless of any legal proceedings.
Should your healthcare provider attempt to delay or cancel medical treatment due to a claim, your dedicated solicitor for medical negligence will handle the situation to ensure you receive the care you deserve.
Typically, you have up to three years to begin a clinical negligence claim. The three-year period starts from the date you received the negligent treatment or from the date you noticed that your injury was a result of negligent care.
This is known as the “date of knowledge.”
There are two exceptions to the 3-year compensation rule.
Exemptions include:
All medical negligence cases are unique; some take months, some take years. You can rest assured that there will be no delays on our part.
If you are looking for expert solicitors that deal with medical negligence, Satchell Moran is here. We will do everything we can to aid your recovery and get you the compensation you deserve.
Evidence is required to support any clinical negligence claim, but not to worry, your attentive team will assist in obtaining strong and clear evidence. Evidence that supports medical negligence claims includes medical records, witness statements, and reports from independent medical experts.
In the United Kingdom, there is no set amount you can claim for medical negligence. The compensation is dependent on how serious the harm is and how the negligence impacted your finances. Medical negligence claims can range from a few thousand pounds to many millions.
Medical negligence becomes criminal when the standard of care falls so far below what is expected that it is considered gross negligence.
In these rare cases, prosecutors must prove beyond reasonable doubt that the medical provider’s actions were extremely reckless or a serious disregard for patient safety.
