Medical Negligence Compensation Calculator

If you or a loved one has suffered because of mistakes made in medical treatment, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Our medical negligence calculator is an internal tool developed by Marley Solicitors to give you an early indication of what your case might be worth.

Unlike an online widget, our calculator is used by our team during a consultation. It allows us to assess the nature of the negligence, the extent of the harm caused, and the financial and emotional impact it has had on your life. The figure produced is a starting point, not a final answer. Once we review your medical records, gather expert reports, and understand the full picture, we refine the calculation to give you clear, tailored advice. Our aim is always to secure the maximum compensation available to support your recovery and future needs.

How our calculator works

When you first contact Marley Solicitors, we will take you through a structured set of questions. These cover what happened, how it was handled by the medical professionals involved, and how it has affected you day to day. At that stage, if we feel like you have reasonable prospects of success, we can guide you on the starting level of compensation.

This initial range helps you understand what may be possible. However, medical negligence claims are rarely straightforward. We review your case at the following stages:

• Reviewing medical records and hospital notes in detail.
• Instructing independent medical experts to give opinions on whether the care you received fell below a reasonable standard.
• Assessing how the negligence has impacted your work, family life, and long-term health.
• Factoring in both general damages for pain and suffering and special damages for financial losses and expenses.

By combining your evidence and expert input, we create a realistic valuation and a clear strategy for your claim.

Key factors the calculator considers

• Type and severity of negligence – this may include surgical errors, incorrect or delayed diagnoses, prescription mistakes, negligent maternity care, or failures in emergency treatment. Each type of negligence has different consequences and compensation levels.
• Extent of injury or illness – whether you suffered a temporary setback or a permanent condition. For example, a delay in diagnosing a fracture may cause short-term pain, while a delayed cancer diagnosis could have life-changing implications.
• Impact on daily life – injuries can affect your ability to work, exercise, enjoy hobbies, or care for family members. The greater the disruption, the higher the potential award.
• Financial losses and expenses – loss of earnings, costs of rehabilitation or private treatment, travel to appointments, and expenses for home adaptations or specialist equipment.
• Future care needs – long-term therapy, ongoing treatment, or professional carers may be required in more serious cases, and these costs are factored into the valuation.
• Psychological effects – depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or loss of trust in medical services are recognised as valid aspects of a claim.
• Supporting evidence – strong documentation such as medical records, independent expert reports, witness statements, and proof of financial loss will help to strengthen and increase the value of your claim.

3. Refine the valuation, separating compensation for pain and suffering from financial and future losses.
4. Provide clear guidance on whether negotiation, mediation, or court action is the best approach.
5. Support you throughout the process, making sure you understand your options and next steps.
