The ‘limitation’ period to bring a claim for medical negligence is generally three years from the date of negligence or the date of reasonable knowledge of the injury. 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 soon as possible. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can begin our investigations and the sooner we can start to assist with your treatment and recovery.
