Funding Your Professional Negligence Claim
Its important in any professional negligence claim to consider the issue of funding.
Before you embark on making a professional negligence claim you need to know where you stand not only with regard to your own costs but also your possible liability for your opponents’ costs.
Up to the point that court proceedings are commenced you only need to worry about your own costs. It is only once court proceedings are issued in a professional negligence claim that you can become liable for your opponents costs if you lose your case.
We offer a range of funding options for professional negligence claims. Many people choose to fund cases privately, but our no win, no fee scheme is also very popular. With both methods of funding we can arrange legal expenses insurance that will cover you in the event that you are ordered to pay your opponents legal costs.
We also make thorough enquiries at the outset of all new professional negligence cases to ascertain whether you already have the benefit of a legal expenses policy that might cover your claim. These policies are often included with other insurance and we frequently find that people are unaware that they have cover.
If you are in any doubt about legal funding then just ask.
