How do I start a medical negligence claim in Newcastle and what evidence will I need?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

If you believe treatment in Newcastle caused avoidable harm, a solicitor can assess whether the care may have fallen below a reasonable professional standard and caused your injury. Keep appointment details, letters, prescriptions, photographs, expenses and notes about how the harm has affected you; your solicitor can request relevant medical records and arrange independent expert evidence. In England, a three-year time limit often applies, although exceptions can apply for children or people lacking mental capacity. Consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the SRA promptly, as they can explain funding options and the prospects of a claim.
