Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have a valid medical negligence claim?
You may have a valid claim if a healthcare provider’s substandard care directly caused you harm or worsened your condition. This requires proving a duty of care, a breach of that duty, and resulting injury. Make an enquiry for us for a free consultation to assess your case.
Can I claim if my medical issue wasn’t life-threatening but caused discomfort or inconvenience?
Yes, you can claim if the negligence caused unnecessary pain, suffering, or financial losses, even if the issue wasn’t life-threatening. Examples include delayed treatment or misdiagnosis leading to prolonged recovery.
How long do I have to make a claim for medical negligence?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the incident or when you became aware of the negligence. Exceptions apply for children (until their 21st birthday) and those lacking mental capacity. Acting quickly ensures we have time to build a strong case.
