Mental Capacity- If a loved one has no mental capacity you have no limitation period to bring forward a claim on their behalf. This is because hopefully they may recover in the future and be able to bring forward a claim themselves for the injury they have suffered due to medical negligence.
Children- If your child has suffered from an injury due to medical negligence you can bring forward a medical negligence claim on their behalf. However their limitation period doesn’t come into play until they are the age of 18 so they have up until the age of 21 to bring forward a claim themselves.
