Is the litigation process difficult for Fibromyalgia cases?
Traditionally many lawyers have been reluctant to take on these often complex cases. If you do decide to try to claim through the legal system we strongly advise you to use a solicitor with a proven track record in this area of the law.
What are my chances of success?
Fibromyalgia cases do tend to be difficult mainly due to the medical unease surrounding the condition. However with a knowledgeable legal team and a sympathetic set of medical experts you stand a good chance of receiving some form of payout. Of course the amount will very much depend on the circumstances of each individual person. Mrs H won a record £1.25M damages settlement for Fibromyalgia from which she suffered as a result of an accident.
