Medical negligence claims must be made within three years from the date that the negligent treatment occurred, or three years from the date that you first became aware that the treatment you received may have been negligent.

It is incredibly important for you to seek out legal help as soon as you think you may have suffered from medical negligence. In addition, the earlier in the process you speak with our specialist lawyers, the better chance you have to remember important details about the case. Even if you feel like the time may have passed, it is always worth checking with a member of our team to see if you could make a claim.

If a close friend or family member has suffered from negligent healthcare, it is possible for you to make a claim on their behalf. This is permitted if the victim of medical negligence is either under 18 years old or is unable to report the claim themselves due to concerns regarding mental capacity or their current illness or injury.

If a loved one or friend has suffered unnecessarily because of medical negligence but isn’t capable of pursuing a claim themselves, it is important for you to do what you can to help them get the compensation they deserve. Our specialist lawyers will be on hand to advise accordingly should this be an immediate concern.

Sadly, there are occasions when the unimaginable happens and a relative or friend passes away due to negligent medical treatment. Our specialist lawyers will be on hand to advise accordingly and guide you through the process of pursuing a claim.

In general, the claims will focus on seeking compensation for the pain and suffering experienced by the deceased, the loss of dependency, and for funeral expenses and related financial loss.

Losing someone close to you is devastating, especially if the cause of death was ultimately avoidable. Making a medical negligence claim may be the last thing on your mind, so that’s why our dedicated team of lawyers are on hand to fight your case for you to get justice for you, your family and your loved one.

It’s very rare that you will need to go to court as part of your medical negligence claim. We understand that going to court can often feel daunting, so in the rare situation that this is necessary, we will support and prepare you for the visit in every way we can.

As part of the process of making a claim, we will work together to gather evidence to prove that you suffered from negligent treatment.

This primarily involves your medical records, which we will source for you, a detailed statement of what happened to you and any relevant witness statements from family and friends. Expert medical opinion will be obtained to confirm that negligent medical treatment has occurred resulting in avoidable injury.

We will organise all of this on your behalf, but there are things you can do to help. Gather all of the information possible, tracking dates of medical appointments and the sequence of events that lead you to realise you had been mistreated. Finding receipts and noting expenses related to your injury or illness will also be of great use when it comes to negotiating compensation and reimbursement.

Every medical negligence claim is different, and the length of time that it takes depends on the complexity of the case. Very straightforward cases can take between 12-18 months. More complex instances can take much longer.
