It is crucial to seek legal advice if you are considering bringing a medical negligence claim, ideally as soon after the clinical accident as possible. This will mean the proper steps can be taken to fully investigate your case at the earliest opportunity. Some evidence relies on memories and it is always best to try and record these when they are fresh.

You are normally expected to start a claim within 3 years of the date of your injury or of the date when you first discovered your injury was the result of clinical negligence.
