What is Medical Negligence?
All healthcare professionals have a duty of care to you. Medical Negligence occurs when that duty of care is breached resulting in an injury, an illness or a situation that is worse than before you were treated. Some examples of might be when:
- You may have been diagnosed with the wrong condition
- You may be have been given the wrong treatment
- Your condition may have been neglected
- Your symptoms may have been ignored
- Your treatment may have been delayed
Can you claim?
If negligence can be proven and resulted in injury or harm to you or someone close to you, we can make sure that suitable compensation is received.
There is usually a time limit for you to make a claim of three years, either from the date you were treated or the date you found out there was negligence. If the negligence involves a child, their three years starts from their 18th birthday. There are some exceptional circumstances though, so don’t let this put you off getting in touch.
If you’re worried about cost, don’t. We can offer ‘no win, no fee’ agreements amongst other types of funding such as legal aid. Get in touch and our solicitors will be happy to give you a free consultation, it will be confidential and you’re under no obligation.
