Typical case insurance @ £3000+ per year

Medical Claims Forum: "We have also had many cases where Insurance is offered where regularly the Claimant is being asked to meet premiums in excess of £3,000.00. It is not necessarily a question of those “in real need” but even “little England” those with a moderate amount of savings or average income.


Let me give you by way of an example a recent case in which an elderly lady who is very disabled as a result of negligent surgery (for which we have a very positive report from a leading specialist supported by positive advice from senior specialist counsel). That client was asked to pay a premium of around £3,500.00 for only “12 months” cover and for an adverse costs order of £25,000.00. If we cannot get the case completed within 12 months (and it has to be said the Defendants and indeed the court are not seeking to help us with speed) then she will be required to pay a premium of almost the same again for the next 12 months. That was the only premium that we could obtain."
