Building a strong surgical claim with expert support
Navigating a surgical claim can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves complex medical issues. At Anthony Gold, we believe in building each claim with thorough care and an experienced team that fully understands the impact of your situation.
We work with a network of trusted medical experts, case managers, and barristers, each playing a crucial role in crafting a claim that reflects the full extent of what you’ve been through.
Access to leading medical experts
In cases where surgical errors have led to serious complications, it’s essential to have medical insights that can highlight the depth and nature of your injury. We collaborate with respected medical experts who carefully assess the impact of the surgical error on your health and future needs.
Their input provides a detailed understanding of your condition, which strengthens your claim and supports your right to compensation. This expertise helps ensure that your case is as strong as possible and that nothing is left overlooked.
Ongoing care coordination through case management
A surgical injury can affect many aspects of life beyond immediate medical treatment, sometimes requiring ongoing care and rehabilitation. At Anthony Gold, we connect you with a dedicated case manager who coordinates the various forms of support you may need, from physical therapy to psychological counselling and home adaptations.
This level of care coordination allows you to focus on your recovery, while we ensure that the necessary resources are in place to help you move forward as comfortably as possible.

If your case requires court proceedings, we work with skilled barristers who are well-versed in clinical negligence and surgical claims. Their role is to present your case with clarity and precision, advocating for you in a way that captures the impact of your experience.
While we always aim to resolve claims favourably without court intervention, our barristers are ready to support you should your claim proceed to trial.

Our Client
Flexible no win, no fee options to ease your path
At Anthony Gold, we understand that financial worries can be one of the biggest hurdles to seeking justice after a surgical error. Medical bills, ongoing treatment, and time off work can place an immense strain on you and your family. That’s why we offer flexible funding options, including our No Win, No Fee arrangement, so you can pursue a claim with peace of mind, knowing that affordability won’t stand in the way of justice.
What is no win, no fee & how does it work?
Our No Win, No Fee arrangement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement, means that you won’t have to pay any upfront costs to start your claim. Instead, our legal fees are only payable if we successfully secure compensation for you. If the claim doesn’t succeed, you won’t owe us anything for our work, making it a risk-free option for those who are already facing financial pressures due to surgical injury.
This arrangement reflects our commitment to our clients: we believe that everyone should have access to justice, regardless of their financial circumstances. We understand the weight of your situation, and we’re here to make sure legal costs aren’t another worry on your shoulders.
Transparent fees & clear communication
Navigating legal fees can be confusing, especially if you’re not familiar with the process. At Anthony Gold, we make a point of providing complete transparency about any costs involved from the start.
We’ll walk you through our No Win, No Fee arrangement and explain what happens in different outcomes, ensuring you feel confident and informed before proceeding. There are no hidden fees or surprises—just straightforward, honest communication about what you can expect.
For those who prefer a different payment structure or have questions about other options, we’re here to discuss what suits you best. Our goal is to find a solution that works with your needs and gives you peace of mind as you focus on healing.
Securing interim payments for financial stability
In some cases, while we’re building your claim, we can pursue interim payments. These are partial payments of your compensation that are available before the case is fully resolved, often to help cover immediate costs like medical treatments, rehabilitation, or home modifications that may be urgently needed after a surgical injury.
Not all cases qualify for interim payments, but when they do, our team will take every step to secure these funds as quickly as possible.
These payments can provide a much-needed buffer, allowing you to continue your treatment and manage daily life without the constant pressure of financial strain.
Our team has extensive experience in securing interim payments, and we’re committed to doing everything possible to support you financially through each stage of your case.
Our commitment to accessible justice
We believe that pursuing a surgical claim should never add to your financial concerns. With Anthony Gold, you have the reassurance of working with a team that genuinely cares about your situation and wants to see you access the justice and compensation you deserve, free from financial risk.
Our No Win, No Fee approach allows you to focus on what truly matters—your recovery and wellbeing—while we take care of the rest. With Anthony Gold, you’re supported by a team that’s not only skilled in clinical negligence but also deeply committed to making the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

How do I know if I have a valid surgical claim?
If you’ve suffered an injury or complication due to a surgical procedure that you believe involved errors or substandard care, you may have a valid claim. To assess this, we’ll review the details of your case, including medical records and accounts of your experience, to determine whether there was a failure to meet accepted standards of care. Our team, with both legal and medical expertise, will work closely with you to identify any lapses in care, and we’ll provide you with an honest assessment of your claim’s potential.
What types of surgical errors can I claim for?
Surgical errors can vary widely, and our team is experienced in handling claims for a broad range of issues. These include mistakes made during spinal and orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgical complications, incorrect incisions, infection due to unsanitary conditions, and retained surgical instruments. We also manage claims involving delayed treatment or poor post-operative care that worsened your condition. If you’ve suffered from any surgical mistake that has impacted your health or quality of life, our team is here to advise on your options for seeking compensation.
How long will my surgical claim take to resolve?
The timeline for a surgical claim depends on the complexity of the case, the extent of your injuries, and whether liability is disputed. Some cases may resolve in a matter of months, while others can take longer, particularly if they involve severe injuries requiring long-term medical assessment. At Anthony Gold, we keep you informed every step of the way and work efficiently to reach a resolution as soon as possible. If needed, we can also help secure interim payments to provide financial support during the process.
