LegalEase Team: Start by gathering your medical records, appointment details and information about how the treatment may have caused harm, then speak to a solicitor experienced in medical negligence claims in Scotland. A claim commonly has a three-year time limit from the date of the injury or when you became aware of it, although exceptions can apply, including for children or someone lacking capacity. The solicitor will assess whether the care fell below the required standard and whether it caused your loss. You can check the solicitor’s regulation with the Law Society of Scotland.
