You may be eligible if a healthcare professional or organisation owed you a duty of care, failed to meet an acceptable standard, and that failure caused injury or avoidable loss. Claims can sometimes be made on behalf of a child or someone who lacks mental capacity, while certain dependants may have rights after a death. Strict time limits usually apply, often three years from the incident or from discovering the injury, although exceptions exist. A solicitor regulated by the SRA can assess the evidence, eligibility and applicable deadline.
