Health & medical claims are legal actions taken when a product, treatment, or healthcare service has caused harm or put people at risk.
These claims can be made individually, but when many people are affected by the same issue, you may be able to join a group claim to make your case stronger.
If a company, manufacturer, or healthcare provider has caused you harm, you may be entitled to claim compensation for a range of impacts — not just the obvious medical costs. Here’s what a typical medical claim might cover:
Pain, suffering, or long-term health problems caused by dangerous products or negligent care.
Anxiety, depression, or trauma linked to your experience.
Treatment costs, lost income, or other expenses caused by the harm.
If your medical or personal health data was leaked or misused.
Health & medical violations can take many forms. Here are some possible types of consumer compensation claims:
This includes unsafe medical devices, drugs with undisclosed side effects, or cosmetics and supplements that cause harm.
From botched cosmetic surgery to unregulated wellness injections — if it harmed you, you may have a claim
When sensitive medical records or health app data is exposed, leaked, or shared without permission, you could be due compensation.
From patients and healthcare workers to everyday consumers buying over-the-counter products, health-related harm can impact anyone, at any age, in any walk of life. This could involve:
Patients harmed by negligence, misdiagnosis, or unsafe treatments
Healthcare workers exposed to dangerous substances, faulty equipment, or unsafe working conditions
Consumers using over-the-counter medicines, supplements, or cosmetics that cause unexpected side effects
People undergoing elective treatments such as cosmetic surgery, weight loss injections, or wellness therapies
Users of health and fitness apps whose sensitive data has been shared, sold, or hacked without permission
Families affected by long-term illness or loss of a loved one linked to dangerous products or negligent care
Vulnerable groups including children, elderly people, and those with pre-existing health conditions who may face greater risks.
Do I qualify for a health & medical claim?
If a healthcare provider, manufacturer, or company has caused you harm through negligence, unsafe products, misleading practices, or breaches of your medical privacy, you could be eligible to make or join a claim.
You do not necessarily need to have suffered a severe physical injury to potentially qualify. Emotional distress, loss of privacy, unexpected medical costs, disruption to your daily life, or even the risk of future health problems may also be relevant.
Some health and medical claims are handled individually, while others involve larger groups of people affected by the same issue.
Eligibility and next steps vary depending on the claim. Where we’re working with a partner law firm, you may be able to check whether you meet the relevant criteria online.
If a claim is still developing or a partner law firm has not yet been confirmed, you can register for updates and we’ll keep you informed if the situation progresses.
Making a claim isn’t just about getting compensation – although that is important. It’s also about holding companies and healthcare providers accountable, raising standards, and protecting others from the same harm.

Health & medical claims FAQs
A health and medical claim is a legal claim brought when a healthcare provider, manufacturer, or organisation causes harm through unsafe treatment, faulty medical products, misleading health information, or failures to protect sensitive medical data.
These claims can relate to issues such as defective medical devices, harmful medication, medical negligence, unsafe healthcare practices, or breaches involving personal health information.
Some health and medical claims are handled individually, while others involve larger groups of people affected by the same issue.
A health or medical group claim is when a group of people take legal action together because they’ve suffered similar harm. This could be due to a dangerous product, unsafe treatment, or a breach of sensitive health data. Group claims can make it easier to hold large companies or organisations accountable.
Not necessarily. While some health and medical claims involve serious physical injuries, others may relate to emotional distress, financial loss, loss of privacy, disruption to daily life, or the risk of future harm.
For example, some claims involve faulty medical devices, unsafe medication, or breaches of sensitive health information where the impact may not be immediately physical.
Whether you may qualify depends on the specific circumstances of the claim and how you were affected.
It depends on the type and severity of the harm. Compensation can cover physical injury, emotional distress, medical costs, loss of earnings, and other related expenses. Your eligibility and potential payout will depend on the specific claim.
The law firms we partner with usually operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning you only pay if the claim is successful. However, fees may apply if you cancel after the cooling-off period or breach your agreement.
If you win, the firm will either take its fees from your compensation payment or recover them from the defendants.
All terms are clearly explained before joining.

Once you’re matched with a law firm, they’ll handle your case, keep you updated, and answer any legal questions you have.
