Medical Negligence
You’ve been injured or treated at an unacceptable standard in a healthcare setting. What now?
When a health care provider, such as a doctor, specialist, dentist or hospital fails to treat you to an acceptable standard you may be eligible to make a claim for medical negligence. It can be more than a medical professional simply making a mistake, or an error in judgement. Negligence is a specific legal concept that relates to the reasonable care provided.
Negligent treatment can include:
- surgical errors that have damaged major organs
- failure to accurately or timely diagnose an illness or condition
- delay in either treating or referring treatment for a condition
- complications arising following surgery or treatment.
There are several factors involved in determining whether a claim for medical negligence can be made. We can assess your situation to determine if:
- the health care provider was negligent in his/her/their treatment
- the negligence caused injury, pain and/or suffering
- the injury/pain and/or suffering caused is significant.
First step:
1. Document everything and contact a specialised medical negligence lawyer for advice. Time limits can apply.
