Time limits for making a medical negligence claim
Usually, a medical negligence claim has to be commenced within three years of finding out your perceived negligent treatment, but some exceptions to this rule involve the following:
- mental capacity – if a person lacks the capacity to make a the claim themselves there is no time limit for making a claim
- children – the three year time limit commences on your child’s 18th birthday so the claim needs to be started before they reach the age of 21
