What is medical negligence?
Medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence, is when a medical professional makes a mistake when caring for a patient that makes an existing condition worse or caused an additional condition.

How do I make a medical negligence claim?
If you suspect you or your loved one may have been a victim of medical negligence you should act quickly to avoid having your claim time-barred. Victims have three years to bring a medical negligence claim against the medical professional starting from the date you first realised you were a victim of medical negligence. For children, the claim can be issued anytime before their 18th birthday, after that the normal 3-year rule applies so they have until their 21st birthday to bring the claim.
