What is medical negligence?

Medical negligence FAQs
-
Can I make a medical negligence claim against multiple institutions or departments?
If multiple departments or institutions have contributed to negligence or have breached their duty of care, resulting in harm being caused, they can be held jointly liable.
We can examine the role each department has played in the negligence you have faced, leveraging your claim appropriately.
-
Can I make a medical negligence claim on behalf of a child?
Yes, you can make a medical negligence claim on behalf of a child.
Usually, there is a three-year window to make a medical negligence claim, following your injury, misdiagnosis or other form of negligence.
This does not apply to anyone under the age of 18; however, that time limit will begin on their 18th birthday – expiring on their 21st.
-
Can I make a medical negligence claim on behalf of someone who has passed away?
If death has been caused by medical negligence, then the deceased’s estate can make a medical negligence claim within six months of the passing.
Claims made on behalf of the deceased will calculate compensation based on the pain and suffering caused before death, any financial losses incurred, such as funeral expenses, and loss of income on behalf of dependents.
