Scotland’s Three-Year Time Limit
In Scotland, you generally have three years from the date of the negligent treatment, or from the date you first became aware that the treatment caused your harm, to make a medical negligence claim. For anyone under 16 at the time of treatment, the three-year period begins on their 16th birthday. Because these time limits are strictly enforced, we recommend seeking legal advice as soon as possible.
Our Medical Negligence Claim Process
Step
Contact Khan Law by phone or through our online enquiry form. One of our specialist medical negligence solicitors will listen carefully to your experience, gather the necessary initial information and advise you on whether your claim is likely to succeed.
Step
If we believe you have a strong case, we will begin gathering evidence to support your claim. In medical negligence cases this includes obtaining full medical records, independent expert medical reports, witness statements and any other relevant documentation that establishes the negligence and proves your losses.
Step
Once we have sufficient evidence, we will approach the responsible party or their insurers and begin negotiations to secure the best possible compensation settlement for you. Our goal is always to achieve the maximum compensation with minimum stress to you.
Step
The majority of medical negligence cases are resolved through out-of-court settlements. If an agreement can be reached that meets your expectations, your case will be settled promptly. If the other party refuses to offer a fair amount, we will advise you clearly on your options, including proceeding to court.
Step
Once a settlement has been agreed or a court has awarded compensation, you will receive your money promptly, minus our pre-agreed success fee. At Khan Law, there are no hidden fees and everything is transparent from the outset.

Frequently Asked Questions - Medical Negligence
When can I claim compensation for medical negligence?
You can claim compensation if you have suffered harm or injury as a result of negligent medical treatment by a medical professional or institution. In Scotland, you generally have three years from the date of the negligent treatment, or from the date you first became aware that the treatment caused your harm, to make a medical negligence claim.
What injuries can I claim for?
You can claim compensation for any physical injuries suffered as a result of medical negligence, including injuries arising from surgical errors, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, birth injuries, cosmetic surgery negligence and more. You may also be entitled to claim compensation for any psychological injuries suffered as a result of the negligence.
How do I prove the medical treatment I received was negligent?
The leading case in Scotland in this area is Hunter v Hanley. To prove that your treatment was negligent, it must be established that there is a normal practice or procedure; that this normal practice or procedure was not followed by the medical professional; and that what was done is something no ordinary medical professional with reasonable skill and knowledge would have done. Khan Law’s specialist medical negligence solicitors will handle this process on your behalf.
What else can I claim for?
In addition to compensation for your injuries, you can claim for loss of income, the cost of remedial treatment, ongoing care costs, travel expenses and any other financial losses arising from the negligence. Khan Law will ensure all of your losses are fully accounted for before any settlement is agreed.
How much will it cost me?
Nothing. Khan Law pursues all medical negligence claims on a no win no fee basis, meaning if your case is unsuccessful, you pay nothing. If your claim succeeds, a pre-agreed success fee capped by law is deducted from your compensation. There are no hidden costs and everything is explained clearly before you commit.
How much compensation will I receive?
The amount of compensation you receive depends on the nature and severity of your injuries and how long they take to resolve. Khan Law’s medical negligence solicitors will ensure all of your losses are fully accounted for before any settlement is agreed and will provide expert advice on any offers received throughout the claims process.
