Public Funding (Legal Aid)

Public Funding, also commonly known as 'Legal Aid', is generally available for medical negligence claims, professional negligence claims against solicitors, claims against the police and public interest personal injury claims. Most personal injury claims no longer attract public funding.

“Public Funding" is operated by the Legal Services Commission (LSC). You may be entitled to support if you have a good claim and if you satisfy the financial requirements. Children under 16 are assessed on their own financial means, not their parents’ means, and usually  meet the financial criteria as a result.

We hold a contract for Public Funding in medical negligence claims and are therefore able to offer emergency Legal Representation in appropriate cases without delay.

For further information about Public Funding please contact us for Free Legal Advice now on 0800 358 3848 and ask to see our 'Guide to Public Funding'.
