Starting a care journey can look different for everyone. Some individuals will be cared for at home by visiting carers, while others may look to move into a nursing home as a permanent step. Neither option is easy, and it can sometimes be an emotional and distressing time for families. The last thing any family needs in this instance is a decision that makes things even more difficult.
If your loved one loses the mental capacity to manage their own affairs or make decisions relating to their financial affairs or personal welfare, the Court of Protection can appoint a deputy to make those decisions on their behalf.

We carry out many of our claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs for you and, provided that you have not misled or acted against the advice that we have given you, no financial risk to you – even if your claim is not successful.
In most instances we will purchase ‘After the Event’ (ATE) insurance on your behalf to cover any legal costs should you not win the case. However, if you have a ‘Before the Event’ (BTE) insurance policy included in your home, car or credit card insurance then we may look to use that insurance to cover the legal costs and an ATE policy should not then be required.

In general you have three years from the date of negligence or reasonable knowledge of mistreatment by a medical professional causing you harm to bring a medical negligence compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule; for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to our medical negligence solicitors as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
