Could a clinical negligence solicitor help if my condition was made worse by a delayed diagnosis?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

A clinical negligence solicitor can assess whether the healthcare provider’s treatment fell below a reasonable standard and whether an earlier diagnosis would probably have avoided or reduced your harm. They may review your medical records and obtain an independent medical opinion, but the outcome depends on the evidence and your individual circumstances. In England and Wales, a claim is usually subject to a three-year time limit from the incident or the date you knew, or ought reasonably to have known, about the problem, although exceptions can apply. Consider speaking promptly to a solicitor regulated by the SRA and checking the relevant NHS complaints guidance.
