• Birth Injury Claims

A hip replacement surgery is usually a good idea as it can provide relief for bad pain and increase your mobility, strength, flexibility and balance.

• Care Home Negligence Claims

Care home providers owe a duty of care to their residents to ensure they are safe, comfortable and treated with respect. While this is usually the case, there are nursing negligence cases where they fail to do this as a result of inadequate policies or poor practices. When this happens, the results can be devastating, with residents – who are mostly the elderly and vulnerable – suffering serious injuries or even death. If you or a loved one has been a victim of care home negligence, our medical negligence experts can help you make a claim.

• Dental Negligence Claims

When you have a dental treatment, you expert your dental professional to provide the best possible level of care and make you feel better. If they make mistakes during your treatment, this can cause you serious pain, injury, illness or even trauma. From misdiagnosis to wrong tooth extraction, there are many different types of negligent treatments that can inform dental negligence claims. If you have suffered an injury due to dental negligence – whether through an NHS or private provider – then you may be entitled to a compensation claim against them.

• GP Negligence Claims

A GP is usually the first port of call when you need medical help. It is important that they take your symptoms seriously at the early stage to ensure you receive the right medical care and treatment and, if necessary, be referred to a specialist. If your GP provides poor quality of care to you or a loved one and has caused an injury or illness as a result, you may be able to pursue GP negligence claims.

Medical Negligence Claims Time Limit

There is a general three-year medical negligence claims time limit for those who want to claim compensation. This time limit usually begins from the date of the alleged negligence, which means that court proceedings must be started by way of issuing a Claim Form at court within three years of the incident. However, there are a few exceptions where the strict three-year time limit does not apply. The most common ones are:

• Date of Knowledge:

There are times when it may be difficult to determine the exact date when the act of medical negligence happened. In this case, the three-year time limit will begin from the date that the victim should reasonably have known that their injury was a result of negligent treatment.

• Children

Children cannot make claims independently; they require a Litigation friend – usually a parent or relative – to make a claim on their behalf. However, if the claim is not made by a litigation friend, the child will have three years from their 18th birthday to pursue a claim.

• Mental Capacity

There are circumstances where a victim may lack the mental capacity required to understand or bring a claim. In this case, the law allows for such one to only make a claim when they have recovered; but if the mental incapacity continues, the claim can be made from the date of negligence or date of knowledge.

• Death

In the unfortunate event where a victim of medical negligence dies within the three-year time limit, this 3-year period is extended to either three years from the date of death or the date of knowledge of the victim’s death, whichever is later.
