Medical negligence
How much could my claim be worth?
It is difficult to provide exact figures regarding how much compensation a successful claim for medical negligence would bring because each case is different in circumstances.
In general terms a claim for compensation based on medical negligence will be calculated by taking into account the past and future financial cost caused by the medical negligence, the pain and suffering that has been caused as a result and the interest that has accrued from the time that the proceedings were served and payable from the financial loss attributable to the problem caused by the medical negligence together with the legal costs.
We recommend that you consult a lawyer for a detailed explanation of how to organize and proceed with your claim for damages.
