Look for a solicitor experienced in clinical negligence and Scottish medical law, with a clear explanation of funding, likely timescales and the evidence needed. They may review medical records and obtain an independent medical opinion to assess whether the treatment fell below a reasonable standard and caused harm. In Scotland, strict time limits can apply, often three years from the injury or the date you became aware of it, although exceptions exist. Check that the solicitor is authorised by the Law Society of Scotland and obtain independent advice about your circumstances.
