How long can I wait after the medical treatment until I make a clinical negligence claim for compensation?
In most cases you must make the claim within three years from when the injury occurred, or within three years of when you had (or ought to have had) knowledge you were injured as a result of negligence. The time limitation is complex; so even if the medical accident was more than three years ago, it is important that you contact us to see whether you are still in time.
