Claim process
1. Consult our solicitor
It is advisable to speak to our medical negligence solicitors as soon as possible if you believe you were not provided with an adequate or appropriate level of medical care, and this resulted in an injury or illness.
2. We obtain your medical records
After your consultation, your medical negligence solicitor will request access to your medical records and engage an independent medical expert to assess them.
The purpose of engaging an independent expert is to establish whether there was any negligence on the part of the medical professional.
3. The medical negligence litigation process
Where the independent medical expert is of the professional opinion that medical negligence did occur, upon your instructions, your solicitor will commence the process of issuing legal proceedings in Court against the medical professional and/or hospital.
Statute of Limitations
The legal time limit to make a medical negligence claim is two years from the date of injury or date of knowledge that the injury or illness resulted from medical negligence.
For children/minors, the time limit expires two years after their 18th birthday.
You can contact a solicitor to talk about your case and inform you about the statute of limitations applicable to your case. Learn more about the time limit concerning your case.
