Making a Successful Medical or Dental Negligence Claim

At Jones Whyte Solicitors, we understand the intricacies of medical and dental negligence claims. To successfully pursue such a claim, it is crucial to establish that the standard of care provided was subpar and below the standards set by professionals in the same field. This is achieved through obtaining expert opinions from medical or dental professionals.

Additionally, it is imperative to demonstrate the causal relationship between the substandard treatment and any negative outcomes suffered. This can be a complex process, but our team is equipped to handle the challenges through the procurement of expert reports. Trust us to navigate this complicated terrain, ensuring that your medical negligence claims are approached with the utmost proficiency with expertise and efficiency.

Pursuing A Medical Negligence Claim When The Individual Has Passed Away

In cases in which an individual experienced medical negligence whilst they were alive but are no longer here to pursue a claim, the Executor of their estate can do this on their behalf for the pain and suffering caused to the individual, before their death.

In Scotland, close relatives (spouse, parents, children, grandchildren, grandparents, and siblings including step-relatives) of an individual who has died as a result of negligence can pursue a claim for loss of society under s4(3) of the Damages (Scotland) Act 2011.

In order to process a loss of society claim, we must be able to prove that the care provided to the deceased patient caused or contributed to their death. The deceased’s relatives are each compensated for the loss of their relationship, support and guidance of that family member in their life.

In certain circumstances, in which negligence occurred during the individual’s lifetime but they are no longer here to pursue the claim, the Executor can also pursue the claim on behalf of the estate, even if the negligence did not directly result in death. For example, where a delay in diagnosis of incurable cancer occurs, which shortens the individual’s life and which can affect their overall quality of life but does not directly result in death, an Executor can pursue a claim for medical negligence on behalf of the deceased’s estate.

Medical Negligence Claim Time Limits

To pursue a claim for medical negligence in Scotland, Court proceedings must be raised and served on the negligent organisation or individual professional, three years from the date in which you could reasonably be expected to have become aware of the negligence.

For negligence pertaining to children, the time limit in which to raise the claim in Court is three years from the date of their 16^th birthday.
