Medical Negligence Claims

You usually have three years from the date of negligence or when you first became aware of it to make a claim.

It's best to claim as soon as possible so your memory is fresh, and evidence is recent and easier to gather. Get in touch today to avoid missing out on your compensation.

The length of time varies based on the complexity of the case, but many claims are settled within 18-36 months. Your legal team will keep you updated throughout, so you know what to expect at every stage in the process.
