Expert Legal Insight for Your Matter

Frequently Asked Questions

Generally three years from the date of negligence or from ‘date of knowledge’ if injury was discovered later. For children the three‑year clock starts at 18; for those lacking capacity no fixed limit. Early advice from Aldwych Legal is essential.
Clients must establish duty, breach, causation and measurable loss. We obtain records, instruct independent expert reports, and deploy senior clinical negligence solicitors and barristers to interpret complex evidence and link substandard care to your injury.
Yes. NHS claims follow NHS Resolution processes; private clinics are sued as corporate or individual defendants. Aldwych Legal navigates different disclosure rules and pre‑action protocols, securing expert opinions to allocate liability and quantify losses.
Damages cover past and future care, loss of earnings, medical costs, and general damages for pain and suffering. Complex cases require multidisciplinary evidence to calculate lifetime needs; Aldwych Legal’s senior team prepares robust schedules for court or settlement.
Funding includes conditional fee agreements, damages‑based agreements and commercial insurance; Legal Aid is seldom available for clinical negligence. Our senior-led team assesses funding suitability, explains potential deductions and advises on ATE insurance and cost risk management.
Timescales vary: simple claims resolve within months, complex birth‑injury or brain injury cases can take several years. The pre‑action protocol, expert reports and causation inquiries largely determine duration; senior case management reduces avoidable delay.
Most clinical negligence claims settle after exchange of reports, but trials occur if causation or quantum is disputed. Aldwych Legal prepares senior counsel-led trial bundles and explores ADR, pursuing trial where necessary to protect client interests.
Key evidence includes contemporaneous notes, test results, referral correspondence and independent expert opinion showing substandard diagnostic reasoning and causation. Aldwych Legal’s specialists secure early disclosure, preserve records and instruct appropriate clinical experts for persuasive medico‑legal reports.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status. For full details of our regulatory status and operating framework, please refer to our Legal Services Act 2007 page and our Terms & Conditions.
