Understanding Medical Negligence

Medical negligence occurs when healthcare professionals breach their duty of care, resulting in injury or worsening of an existing condition. This can happen through:

• Delayed or incorrect diagnosis
• Inappropriate treatment
• Surgical mistakes
• Medication errors
• Poor aftercare

Our dedicated team will help you understand if you have a claim during a free initial consultation. We’ll guide you through every step of the process while ensuring you get access to the support and rehabilitation you need.

Time Limits for Claims

Generally, medical negligence claims must be started within three years of becoming aware of negligent treatment. However, special considerations apply for:

Children

• Claims can be made any time before the child turns 18
• After 18, the standard three-year limit applies (until age 21)

Mental Capacity

• No time limit applies if the affected person lacks mental capacity to make a claim

Making Your Claim

Early action is crucial for medical negligence claims. Prompt legal support allows us to:

• Gather fresh evidence
• Secure interim compensation payments where possible
• Access rehabilitation support quickly
• Build the strongest possible case

Claim Duration and Process

The time needed to resolve your claim depends on several factors:

• Severity of injuries
• Complexity of the case
• Whether liability is accepted
• Available evidence

While straightforward cases may settle within months, complex claims can take longer to ensure you receive fair compensation.
