Are there any time limits

There are time limits to making a medical negligence claim. You will have 3 years to make a claim from the date of the negligence, or, from the date you learned that your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence. However, in cases involving children, a claim must be brought within 3 years of their 18th birthday. If the victim of medical negligence has passed away, you will generally have 3 years from the date of the victim’s death to make a claim.

How much can I claim for

The amount of compensation you can claim for will vary depending on the seriousness of your injuries, past expenses and future needs. Compensation is designed to the put the victim of negligence back into the position they would have been in had the negligence never occurred.

Awards can comprise of many different claims such as compensation for your injuries, medical treatment, past and future care needs, past and future loss of earnings, aids and adaptions to your home and/or vehicle and other miscellaneous past and future expenses.
