Medical Negligence Lawyers
If you’ve sustained an injury or illness because of a medical professional’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
Medical Negligence Compensation Claims
Through a medical negligence claim, you can receive compensation for financial losses, including coverage for lost income, medical bills and the costs of ongoing care.
You may also be entitled to compensation for psychological damages, a payout that recognises the emotional trauma caused by the negligence, including anxiety, depression and general loss of enjoyment in life.

Examples of Medical Negligence
If you’ve become injured or ill — or your condition has worsened — because of a medical practitioner’s negligence, you likely have grounds for a medical negligence claim.
-
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis:
When a healthcare provider fails to correctly diagnose a medical condition or takes an unreasonably long time to make an accurate diagnosis which results in terminal health outcomes. -
Surgical Errors:
Where a surgeon makes a mistake during surgery which causes serious ongoing health complications. This can include damage to caused organs, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or performing unnecessary surgery.
-
Birth Injuries:
Injuries to infants or mothers during childbirth due to medical negligence, such as mishandling of forceps, failing to perform a timely C-section, or not addressing complications during delivery. -
Medication or Anesthesia Errors:
Administering incorrect amounts of anesthesia or neglecting to monitor a patient's vital signs during a procedure can lead to severe complications or even fatalities. Medication errors may include prescribing the incorrect medication, wrong dosage, or overlooking a patient's allergies or drug interactions, resulting in significant adverse reactions or harm to the patient.
-
Failure to Refer to Specialists:
When a primary care physician or specialist fails to refer a patient to a specialist when it is medically necessary, it can result in missed or delayed diagnosis and treatment. -
