Medical Negligence Claims

The victim of medical negligence, or someone acting for the victim, may be able to make a claim against those responsible. If you have suffered injuries as a result of medical negligence speak with our specialist solicitors to see if we can assist you in making a claim.

Our solicitors recognise that making a claim can be stressful and daunting for the victim. We can provide you with clear and concise advice so that you don't have to worry. We offer a free consultation call with one of our specialist solicitors to see if we can assist you in making a claim.

There are time limits to making a medical negligence claim. You will have 3 years to make a claim from the date of the negligence, or, from the date you learnt that your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence. However, in cases involving children, a claim must be brought within 3 years of their 18th birthday. If the victim of medical negligence has passed away, you will generally have 3 years from the date of the victim’s death to make a claim.

If you have sustained personal injuries and are concerned about these timescales, contact us for a free consultation call with one of our team.

The amount of compensation you can claim will vary depending on the seriousness of your injuries, past expenses and future needs. Compensation is designed to the put the victim of negligence back into the position they would have been in had the negligence never occurred.

Awards can comprise of many different claims, such as compensation for your injuries, medical treatment, past and future care needs, past and future loss of earnings, aids and adaptions to your home and/or vehicle, and other miscellaneous past and future expenses.

Where the victim of a medical negligence has passed away, you may be able to claim for additional losses such as a bereavement award, funeral expenses, loss of income/pensions, or loss of love and affection, amongst others.

You will not have to pay anything for your claim upfront. If we are able to assist you with your claim we will do so on a NO WIN NO FEE basis. To find out more speak with one of our specialist solicitors for a free consultation call.

We have assisted many individuals who have been dissatisfied with the service they received from their solicitor.
