Medical Negligence
Have you been injured due to the negligence of a health professional?
You may be able to pursue a claim for medical negligence compensation.
Depending on the specific circumstances, this can include:
- Non-economic loss also known as pain and suffering
- Lost income (including past and future economic loss and loss of superannuation)
- Past and future medical expenses
- Travel costs
- Future care needs such as household and domestic assistance including cleaning, gardening, home maintenance, and home modification needs
- Voluntary services and care provided by certain family members
- Claims by spouses for loss of consortium
- And more
Importantly, if the claim is worth $25,000.00 or more, the party at fault must also pay towards your legal costs in addition to the compensation paid to you.
Medical negligence, sometimes called ‘medical malpractice’, can include:
- Birth injuries
- Delayed diagnosis
- Failure to secure informed consent (i.e. failure to notify you of risks)
- Failure to treat (and failure to treat or provide medical services in an appropriate manner)
- Medication errors
- Misdiagnosis
- Nursing home abuse or neglect
- Surgical errors
- And more
