Medical negligence claims can be extremely complex and time-consuming. If you’re considering making a claim, it’s important to understand the basis of your claim. First, we need to discuss the definition of medical negligence in the eyes of the law. A medical error is only considered ‘negligent’ if the healthcare provider has failed to take ‘reasonable care’. As a result, proving medical negligence isn’t easy.
Generally speaking, there is a three-year limit from the time of the preventable medical treatment to make a claim. However, it is possible to make a claim if the harm was not apparent at the time.
