As mentioned above you will not pay your solicitor’s legal fees should you lose your dental negligence compensation claim. If you win your claim the third party insurer or organisation will have to pay your solicitors legal fees as well as your dental negligence compensation. In successful claims the 5r1 claims panel of solicitors will pay a fee to 5r1 Claims, which covers the costs for the time spent dealing with you, compiling a claim report, the referral of the claim and the marketing costs. Please be advised this fee is paid by the solicitor and is not recovered from either you or the other side.
