The lawyers at SheridanLaw Solicitors have specialist expertise in bringing legally aided and 'no-win, no-fee' medical negligence compensation and hospital compensation claims including medical negligence compensation claims on behalf of children and babies. We have expertise in bringing no win no fee compensation claims that involve suing the NHS as well as private hospitals and doctors acting privately.

A track record of obtaining high compensation awards for its clients in no win no fee and legal aid compensation claims against hospitals, the NHS and private doctors

SheridanLaw, based in Kingston, Surrey, has a high success rate and an established track record in obtaining the maximum amount of damages for its clinical / medical negligence clients. In many hundreds of cases SheridanLaw has negotiated settlements and obtained damages for clients without the need for a trial. In nearly all of these cases, we have represented our client in their claim against the NHS or a private doctor on a no win no fee or legal aid basis.

Although based in Kingston, Surrey, Sheridan & Co frequently represents clients from other parts of England, and in particular Surrey and London, in clinical negligence compensation claims.

SheridanLaw has successfully brought no win no fee and legal aid medical negligence compensation claims for patients in London, Surrey and beyond where there has been:

Misdiagnosis of a condition
Failure to diagnose a condition
A delay in treatment
Surgical error
Insufficient anaesthesia
Harm to the baby during childbirth, e.g. through oxygen deprivation and other injuries to children and babies
Errors in administering and prescribing medication

The cost of bringing a medical negligence compensation claim

For many clients there is no cost whatsoever. Because SheridanLaw is accredited by the Legal Services Commission to undertake legally aided clinical negligence work, we are able to use public funding (legal aid) to fund cases for eligible clients. For clients who are not eligible for public funding Sheridan & Co will undertake meritorious claims that entail suing the NHS or private doctors or hospitals on a conditional fee basis (‘no win, no fee’).

As a client of SheridanLaw, whether located in Kingston, Surrey, South West London or beyond, you can be confident that at the outset we will explain in a clear and transparent way the various options for funding a clinical / medical negligence compensation claim (including ‘no-win, no-fee’ agreements). For more information on public funding (legal aid) eligibility, ‘no win, no fee’ and other funding options please take a look at Funding your clinical negligence claim.
