What is Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence happens when a healthcare professional provides treatment that falls below the standard reasonably expected of them, and that failure causes you injury or makes an existing condition worse. Not every poor outcome is negligence – medicine carries risk even when care is good. The question is whether the treatment fell below the accepted standard and whether that caused the harm. I will look at your records and advise honestly on whether you may have a claim.
Time Limits
Time limits in medical negligence cases are strict. In general, you have two years to bring a claim, running from the date of the incident or, if later, the date you first knew (or ought reasonably to have known) that you had been injured and that it was linked to the treatment - the date of knowledge. Because these limits are unforgiving and the medical evidence takes time to gather, the sooner you seek advice the better. Please do not wait if you think you may have a claim.
Common Examples
- Misdiagnosis or a wrong diagnosis
- Surgical error
- Birth injury to mother or baby
- Medication error
- Delayed diagnosis
