Medical Negligence Solicitor
If you have been the victim of clinical negligence, you could be entitled to receive compensation on behalf of those who caused physical or mental harm. To make a successful claim and get the outcome you deserve, you need a specialist medical negligence solicitor.
Examples of Medical Negligence
Although only human, if a medical professional makes a mistake or fails in their duty of care, it can have life threatening or life changing consequences. Examples of medical negligence includes being given a misdiagnosis, mistakes made during surgery, delayed diagnosis and receiving incorrect treatment.
Having a master’s degree in medical law, I have particular expertise in the area of medical negligence and can guide you through the processing of making a claim. Every case is different, and the likely outcome and compensation total depends on various factors, such as the severity of injury/issue caused by the professional, loss of earnings and future losses.
As a medical negligence solicitor with over 25 years’ experience, together, we can have a no-obligation chat to discuss your case and see if you have a valid claim. I normally conduct these types of cases on a no win no fee basis and if you do win, the majority of your legal fees will be paid by the defendant – with the rest coming from the final compensation awarded to you.
Time Limits on Medical Negligence Claims
It is important to know that most medical negligence claims have a time limit on them – which is 3 years from the date of the occurrence. However, if you are seeking this on behalf of a child, you can make the claim at any point up until their 18th birthday, at which point you then must make it within 3 years (so before they are 21).
There are some exceptions to the above rules, for example, if the person affected by the medical negligence lacks mental capacity. However, regardless of the timeline and situation, it is always advisable to seek legal advice as quickly as possible so that you can get the best possible outcome.
Claim Process and Court Proceedings
If you do decide to work with me, the general claim process would start with me contacting those responsible for the negligence and ask them to formally accept responsibility.
However, although it is preferable to negotiate claims outside of court, some opponents will not accept blame or agree to the compensation amount, which means we will need start court proceedings. Even in this situation, many claims are settled before their court date.
