Patient & Hospital Abuse Compensation Claims

When accessing care from a GP surgery, hospital, health centre or dental practice you should feel reassured that the staff will have your best interests at heart, especially if you’re already anxious or worried about treatment you’re receiving.

In most cases this is exactly what happens. Sadly, not all medical establishments are staffed by caring employees, and cases of patient abuse do still occur. Unfortunately, vulnerable people who are physically, emotionally or psychologically frail. Young patients, the elderly, mentally incapacitated or those who dependent on others to look after them can therefore be at risk.

​

Abuse of patients can happen in a variety of different situations. It doesn’t matter whether medical treatment is being delivered at home, in a hospital or as part of a community health program; the Trust responsible for administering it has a ‘duty of care’ to all its patients. This means you have the right to be treated with a reasonable level of professional care at all times.

Patient & Hospital Abuse Solicitors

How much will abuse my claim cost?

All abuse cases taken on by us are handled on a no win no fee basis. This means that you will not have to pay any money up front and there will be no financial risk if your case is unsuccessful.

​

If your case is successful, you will only be expected to pay a contribution to your solicitor’s fees once the case has been resolved. The costs paid are usually a percentage of the compensation awarded and will be agreed before your case is carried out.

No Win, No Fee

With no win no fee, there aren’t any upfront charges or hidden costs. If you do win your case, we will charge you a ‘success fee’ as a percentage of the compensation you receive, this will then be capped at a maximum of 25% – and in many cases this is significantly less than this so you will receive the majority yourself. This fee will be agreed between you and your solicitor before we take on your case.

McKeag & Co have been established on Tyneside for over 100 years and during this time have been successful in obtaining millions of pounds compensation for people who have suffered abuse.
