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 can 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 of the most common group actions we see:
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.
Anyone. 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 & medial claim?
If a healthcare provider, manufacturer, or company has caused you harm through negligence, unsafe products, or breaches of your medical privacy, you could be eligible to join a group claim.
You don’t need to have suffered a severe physical injury to qualify. Emotional distress, loss of privacy, unexpected medical costs, or even the risk of future health problems can also count. What matters in group claims is that the issue has affected many people in a similar way.
Eligibility varies by claim. Use our quick online checker, and we’ll review your information to determine if you meet the criteria for the specific group action.
Not sure? Find a claim and check your eligibility in under two minutes.
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 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 make it easier to hold large companies or organisations accountable.
No. While some claims involve serious illness or long-term injury, you can still claim if you’ve suffered emotional distress, financial loss, a privacy violation, or an increased risk to your health in the future.
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.
A no win, no fee agreement lets you join a claim without paying anything upfront. If your case is successful, your law firm deducts a pre-agreed amount from your compensation. If the case is unsuccessful, you don’t pay your solicitor’s fees. However, T&Cs do apply. You can find out more about no-win, no-fee in our handy guide.
Time limits vary depending on the type of case — some may be just a year or two, others up to several years. It’s best to check as soon as possible so you don’t miss the deadline.
