NO WIN, NO FEE
If you’ve received a patient recall letter, or you’ve been injured through a medical negligence incident that many others are also affected by, our group action team can support you, and others like you, through the legal process.
Can I join a group action?
If you’ve suffered medical negligence that you feel may have affected others on a wider scale, we may be able to pursue a group action on behalf of the collective group. If you’ve received a patient recall letter, the chances are, our specialist team will already be aware of potential negligent action, and may be actively looking to support people like you.
Group actions provide strength in numbers – allowing people facing similar issues to collaboratively work with a single law firm to pursue compensation. This means we’re able to investigate claims through a cost effective and efficient process, and your individual case will often benefit from findings we uncover as part of the wider investigation. Group actions are predominantly conducted on a No Win, No Fee basis – so there’s no financial risk to you.
What does group action mean?
-
A group action is where a group of people have the same or similar claim.
-
This approach provides “strength in numbers” meaning that multiple people can be supported through a single investigation.
-
Cases are handled on a No Win No Fee basis, and although your claim is part of a group, we account for all compensation values on your individual circumstances.
From our specialist team
“Without transparency and decisive action, it is difficult for patients to feel confident that improvements are taking place. The focus must be on ensuring no one else experiences such devastating and avoidable consequences.”

FAQs about group actions
Why join a group legal action rather than doing it individually?
Taking a claim on your own can be very expensive, and sometimes it may not be possible to pursue it individually. By joining a group action, people with similar experiences can come together and ask one law firm to handle the case for them.
If the claim is successful, each person still receives their own individual compensation.
How do you fund group action legal claims?
We usually handle these cases on a No Win, No Fee basis, which means there’s no financial risk to you. We’ll talk you through all your options, but this is often the best choice when you may not be in a position to pay for legal support upfront.
Do you need specialists to help you when dealing with a group claim?
Having the right team around you can make a big difference. Our dedicated group actions team has the experience and resources to handle complex claims and support people coming together as part of a group, helping your case move forward as smoothly as possible.
You don’t need to know what kind of claim you have, or if there are others like you, before getting in touch with our team. Most people who contact us are unsure, and that’s exactly what the first conversation is for. We’ll listen to your story, ask questions and give you honest, straightforward advice about whether you have a case and what your options are for next steps.
Patients deserve transparency and reassurance that robust systems are in place to ensure their safety.
No one should have to go through what we have been through, and I only hope that now that the true extent of the failings have come to light that the Trust acts on its promise to learn important lessons from what happened.
