Darbys team of clinical and medical negligence solicitors understand how an error made by a medical professional in A&E can have devastating effects on the patient and the patient's family. When discussing accident and emergency compensation claims with our clients, our solicitors are frequently asked who can actually make a claim for A&E Compensation:

• Patient: The law states that any legal action by the person who was the victim of medical negligence, must be initiated within three years of the date that person was aware of the negligence.
• Parents or Guardians of a Minor: A parent or legal guardian is entitled to claim for their child who has sustained an injury as the result of accident and emergency negligence. The legal proceedings have to be started before the 21st birthday of the child.

From time to time fatalities can occur as the result of accident and emergency medical negligence. As a result of this Darbys Solicitors have a separate legal advice and support section, Fatal Accidents & Inquests, for clients who wish to claim for the death of a loved one.
