There is a time limit that applies to medical neglignce claims and this is often known as the limitation period. As a rule, you have 3 years to make a claim, but the date this starts can vary. It could start on the date the negligent incident happened, especially if it was clear what happened. However, in cases where it isn't clear what happened right away or who was at fault, the time limit can start from the date of knowledge instead. It's best to discuss this with a solicitor so that you get the right date. Please call us for free to discuss
