Medical Negligence FAQ
Get answers to the most common questions about medical negligence claims.
How long do I have to make a medical negligence claim?
Generally, you have 3 years from the date you became aware (or should have become aware) that your injury was caused by medical negligence. For children, the 3-year period starts when they turn 18.
How much does it cost to pursue a medical negligence claim?
We offer a ‘No Win, No Fee’ arrangement, meaning you don’t pay our legal fees unless we win your case. We also arrange After the Event insurance to protect you from paying the other side’s costs.
Do I need to complain to the hospital first?
While it’s not legally required, making a formal complaint can help gather information about what went wrong. However, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible as complaint processes can be lengthy.
Can I claim against private healthcare providers?
Yes, medical negligence claims can be made against both NHS and private healthcare providers, including hospitals, GPs, dentists, and other medical professionals.
What makes a successful medical negligence claim?
You must prove that the medical professional owed you a duty of care, breached that duty by falling below an acceptable standard, and that breach directly caused your injury or made your condition worse.
How long do medical negligence claims take?
Most cases settle within 18 months to 3 years. Simple cases may take longer, but we work to resolve cases as efficiently as possible.
What evidence do I need for my claim?
We’ll help gather all necessary evidence, including your complete medical records, expert medical opinions, witness statements, and documentation of your injuries and losses.
What if the medical professional admits fault?
An admission of fault can strengthen your case, but you still need to prove the extent of your injuries and losses to secure appropriate compensation. Legal representation remains important.
