Clinical Negligence FAQs

We understand you might be looking for answers, so we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help get you started.

What qualifies as Clinical Negligence?

Clinical Negligence occurs when a healthcare professional breaches the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm or injury. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or inadequate treatment.

How long do I have to make a claim?

There are strict time limits for Clinical Negligence claims, typically three years from the date you became aware of the injury or its cause. It’s best to seek advice promptly to protect your rights.

Will pursuing a claim affect my ongoing medical treatment?

Not at all. We work alongside medical professionals to ensure your treatment continues uninterrupted and that your long-term care needs are met.

How is compensation calculated in Clinical Negligence cases?

Compensation is based on the extent of your injuries, the impact on your life, future care costs, and any financial losses incurred as a result.

Can I afford legal help if I don’t have much money?

We offer clear, upfront information about fees and funding options. Our goal is to make legal support accessible and to guide you through practical ways to finance your claim.
