Frequently asked questions
For adults, the deadline is 3 years. Time starts to run either from the poor medical care or, in many cases, when you might first have realised that you had an injury and that it may have arisen from substandard treatment. For those under 18, no matter when in their life the poor treatment occurred, the 3 years limitation does not start running until they turn 18.
Compensation for successful claims of medical negligence are made up of two awarded damages; General and Special. Amounts awarded will vary from case to case, but consider awards granted in similar cases, as well as potential costs and loss of earnings.
First of all you must contact the treating hospital or GP's surgery. All GP’s, Surgeries and other healthcare professionals have their own complaints procedure. We can advise you on making a complaint under this system. We can also advise you if you are seeking financial compensation.
