Timescales for Professional Negligence Cases

• Professional negligence cases are subject to time limits referred to as 'limitation periods'.
  The period during which a claim must be brought generally varies between one and six years.
  Professional advice should be taken as soon as you realise that you may have a claim.
• Completing the pre-action protocol steps will, in all likelihood, take approximately 4 months.
• If court proceedings are necessary and the case does not settle, there will usually be a period of 12 to 18 months between issuing the proceedings and the trial of the action.
