Tinsdills Secure New Medical Negligence Insurance Product

Tinsdills are now able to offer a comprehensive insurance policy which makes it easier for clients to bring claims for clinical negligence.

Medical negligence partner, Chris Lovewell, comments as follows:

“Success in clinical negligence claims depends upon independent expert evidence. Many clients have been put off bringing claims by the cost of carrying out the initial investigation. Gathering the medical records and preliminary experts reports can be very expensive and many people cannot afford to take the risk of finding that expert evidence does not support their claim.

In direct response to this concern we have now managed to secure an insurance product covering all costs incurred from the start. The insurance covers the costs of obtaining medical records and medical reports to establish whether a claim has reasonable prospects of success and will also cover any costs which may be payable to a third party if court proceedings are commenced.

The insurance is available in cases where we are able to enter a conditional fee agreement form the outset. The insurance premiums only become payable if the claim ultimately succeeds. The premium can then be recovered from the other side. This means that the client is fully protected from the risk of incurring costs during the claim.”

We feel that this insurance product is a considerable enhancement to the legal services we are able to offer in this difficult area of law. It will put people with justifiable claims on an equal footing with their opponents. They can then pursue their claims without worrying about the financial risk to themselves.
