People who've suffered a serious injury due to medical negligence can often experience financial difficulties during their recovery. Whether this is due to lost earnings, or the mounting costs of treatment and rehabilitation, many clients we work with require part of their compensation to be paid before their case is settled. These payments are known as interim payments and can be applied for to cover these costs once the other party has accepted liability for what has happened to you. This payment will form part of your overall claim. The amount of money that you could receive by way of an interim payment will depend on the circumstances and value of your medical negligence claim. The maximum value will be set at ‘a reasonable proportion’ of the expected overall compensation. If you receive interim payments throughout your medical negligence case, the total sum will be deducted from the total amount of compensation that you receive at the conclusion of your case.
