Award-winning lawyers on your side
Not just lawyers — medical negligence experts
There are a lot of Claims companies out there, but when it comes to Medical Negligence, we believe you need a specialist team of Medical Lawyers.
In our opinion it is not enough to just have a personal injury lawyer or someone who dabbles in Medical Negligence from time to time. Medical Negligence claims can be complex. They require specialist knowledge in order to ensure your claim is properly and successfully fought on your behalf, and that you receive the maximum level of compensation you are entitled to.
Why are we the UK's highest rated? Let's look at the evidence.
No win - no fee - no obligation. You have nothing to lose!
At Patient Claim Line, we don’t want anyone with a possible claim to be put off by the worry of legal fees. That’s why we always work on a no win no fee basis. This means if you pursue your claim with us, and the claim is not successful, then you walk away without having to pay us a penny. That’s our promise to you.
By choosing Patient Claim Line, you are guaranteed peace of mind in all areas, at all times. It costs you nothing to find out if you have a claim. Asking the questions is the first step to peace of mind, whether you have a claim or not, and it will not have cost you anything. That’s a promise.
Owned by a leading UK law firm
Unlike most claims companies, Patient Claim Line is owned and operated by a law firm, Fletchers Solicitors, who specialise in Medical Negligence. Fletchers were established in 1987, and have a Medical Negligence legal team of over 100 people working just in this area of law.
Fletchers is a Top 200 law firm, listed in the Legal 500 and is one of the Sunday Times Top 100 places to work. We also have access to a number of other Medical Negligence specialist firms, all of whom are fully vetted by Fletchers to ensure they offer the dedicated, specialist service that we demand our clients receive.
Medical Negligence specialists with over 400 years' combined experience
When you call Patient Claim Line, you know you are getting an experienced, specialist team to assess your case. The legal team itself has over 400 years' combined experience in dealing with injuries caused by Medical Negligence. Most claims companies cannot provide this level of experience when dealing with cases.
This experience means that when we take your case on, we are able to take on the big institutions like the government and NHS, and are able to fight for justice and ensure you get the best possible result.
Outstanding customer feedback
Our customers are genuinely at the heart of everything we do. We understand how people feel when they have been let down by a health professional and the health industry, and always show compassion, sensitivity, professionalism and above all, we listen to people. That’s why the people we have helped rate us so highly on Trustpilot.
Trustpilot is an independent review site and is similar to Trip Advisor, but for professional services. We have to offer the chance for ALL our clients to leave us a review, and are very proud of being the top rated Medical Negligence solicitors.
