Clinical Negligence / Medical Negligence

If you have been injured, either physically or psychologically, because of a health professional's negligence, you may be able to claim clinical / medical negligence compensation.

What if my problem was not caused by a doctor?
Medical negligence also known as clinical negligence does not just cover treatment provided by a doctor. You can claim for medical negligence against any health care professional who hasn't given you the right care or treatment, which has injured you. This includes for example:-

What do I have to prove to claim compensation?
To make a claim for medical negligence compensation, you have to be able to prove two things. These are that:-

You cannot claim compensation just because someone else has done something wrong. You have to be able to prove that this has caused you an injury .

How will we investigate your claim?

If we cannot find any medical experts who will support your claim, your claim will not succeed.

You must bring a claim for personal injury compensation within three years (called 'the limitation period') The limitation period starts either from:

In the case of children, the three year limit does not start until their 18th birthday. Also if the case involves a person who cannot manage their own affairs because of a mental disability, the three year limit doesn't apply. The courts can, in extreme circumstances, allow your claim after the three year limit.
