How Long Does a Medical Negligence Claim Take to Be Settled?

The length of time a medical negligence claim takes to settle can vary significantly. Simple cases where liability is admitted can be settled in around 12 months or so. Large, more complex, high-value cases can take longer to settle.

It is important that settlement is not rushed into and that your requirements for life are fully considered no matter how long this may take to establish.

In all appropriate cases, we will apply for interim payments on account of your final damages (compensation) so that you have funds while your claim progresses.
