By Legal Futures Associate National Claims
Medical negligence claims are among the most complex cases in the legal world, requiring careful vetting, strong evidence, and an in-depth understanding of industry practices. For solicitors, handling these cases efficiently can be a significant challenge, especially when faced with a high volume of leads that may not meet the necessary legal threshold. That’s where National Claims steps in and is forging a strong reputation. As an expert partner, the team streamlines the qualification process and ensures only the highest-quality leads reach its partners, saving time, boosting success rates and improving revenue.
A successful medical negligence claim hinges on proving a breach of duty of care and demonstrating that exact failure directly caused harm. This is of course easier said than done, as it requires not only solid patient testimony, but robust medical evidence.
Many cases fail to meet strict criteria due to a lack of independent opinions or the legal standard for causation. At National Claims, our marketing efforts filter out weaker cases early on and our expert qualification team are the best in the business at identifying winners and passing them onto partnering solicitors. Through our specialised marketing strategy and industry-leading qualifiers, our partners benefit from a 52% successful case transfer rate with medical negligence cases and our team doing the majority of the leg work on their behalf.
One of the key elements we assess is the likelihood of an admittance of neglect. Cases where medical professionals acknowledge errors have a much higher success rate. By focusing on these, we improve efficiency for legal teams and enhance the claimant’s experience by avoiding prolonged disputes. Our expertise in identifying these cases means solicitors receive vetted claims that stand a strong chance of success.
Medical evidence is another critical factor in building a compelling case. National Claims works closely with independent medical professionals to ensure documentation is passed on as and when possible alongside expert opinions. This not only strengthens the case but also saves solicitors the time and effort of obtaining the information themselves.
Our comprehensive vetting process extends beyond initial qualification, as we continue to provide support throughout the claims journey, ensuring no case is stalled due to missing information or administrative delays.
Our commitment to streamlining the claims process benefits both legal teams and claimants. Solicitors gain access to a steady pipeline of high-quality cases, reducing the frustration of sifting through weak claims. For claimants, this means a smoother and more efficient experience, minimising the stress often associated with legal proceedings.
National Claims is dedicated to supporting clients beyond the legal aspects of their claims. Many claimants who pursue medical negligence cases are in vulnerable physical, emotional, mental and financial situations. We help arrange transport to medical appointments, coordinate rehabilitation services, and even liaise with healthcare providers on behalf of claimants who face language barriers.
This holistic approach not only strengthens the legal case but also ensures that claimants feel supported throughout their journey. Our emphasis on wellbeing sets us apart in the industry, demonstrating that we are not just a referral service but a partner in the claimant’s recovery and pursuit of justice.
For firms looking to focus their marketing efforts on the most promising types of medical negligence claims, National Claims is the claims management company you can trust. The team understands claims for birth injuries, amputations, Cauda Equina Syndrome, delayed diagnoses and surgical errors have the highest chance of success, which is where they focus their marketing efforts.
