Yes; the ‘limitation’ period to bring a claim for medical negligence is generally three years from the negligent treatment, or date of knowledge of the injury. This means that if you became aware of the injury or diagnosis weeks, months, or even years later, the three-year period is likely to commence from that point. In rare circumstances, the Court may use its discretion to extend the limitation period, but only for exceptional reasons, so it is important to contact us as quickly as possible
