Our medical negligence solicitors at Coleman Legal continuously educate themselves on all aspects of medical negligence.
The first step in making a medical negligence claim is to seek the assistance of a medical negligence solicitor who specialises in this area of law. Choosing a qualified and experienced medical negligence solicitor is essential, as they will provide guidance and support throughout the process.
The medical expert will examine your medical records and provide a medical expert report advising if you have received substandard medical treatment in their professional opinion.
Based on the medical expert’s opinion, your solicitor will prepare a medical report that details the extent of your injuries and the impact they have had on your life. This report will be used as evidence in your case.
If the report supports your claim, your solicitor will issue legal proceedings and begin litigation. This involves filing court documents and serving them on the defendant.
Note: It’s important to note that the Personal Injuries Assessment Board does not handle medical negligence claims, and therefore, the only way to reach a resolution is through negotiation with the defendant’s legal representatives or through litigation.
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 may contact a solicitor to discuss your case and advise you of the statute of limitations applicable to your case.
