You have 3 years from date of the incident or date of knowledge to make a medical negligence claim. So, contact us as soon as possible to discuss the possibility of making a medical negligence claim. 

The possibility of having to attend court is very slim.  

Based on the NHS resolution report for 2018/19 over 70% of medical negligence claims were resolved without formal court proceedings. Around 30% of cases led to litigation, and less than 1% progressed to a full trial.  

Yes, you can make a claim on behalf of someone else. However, this can only be done if you are claiming on behalf of someone under 18, someone with a limited mental capacity or on behalf of someone who has unfortunately passed away.  

The first and foremost step in pursuing a successful claim is to reach out to us at your earliest convenience. To build and reinforce your case, we will require access to your medical records, including X-rays, scans, and test results. Additionally, we will conduct a thorough interview with you, as it is your responsibility to demonstrate that the care you received was negligent. Moreover, we will collaborate with other medical experts who can offer statements and opinions on the quality of care you experienced. 

Once we have compiled all the necessary evidence, we will carefully examine three pivotal areas: 

1. Breach of duty – illustrating that the medical professional overseeing your care failed to meet the legally expected standard of duty of care. 
2. Causation – establishing that the treatment you received was responsible for your injury or worsened your condition.
3. Damages or losses – presenting clear evidence of the harm you endured due to negligence, and evaluating any financial losses or expenses incurred consequently. 

If you believe you’ve received insufficient care from a medical or healthcare professional, whether it stems from misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or inadequate aftercare, and if you can establish a direct link between their actions and your injuries or suffering, you might have grounds to file a claim. Feel free to reach out to us to talk about your situation, and we’ll assist you in navigating the process of kickstarting your claim.
