Any deviation from the accepted ethical standards of a medical professional can result in medical malpractice. While some errors can occur more often than others, this does not negate the pain and suffering a patient can incur as a result.
Some common types of medical malpractice claims include:
You have the right to file a claim against a medical professional, a team or a hospital for any of these medical malpractice issues.
Some other situations involving medical negligence include:
A medical negligence lawyer can help to determine if your experience and resulting health issue rise to the level of a medical negligence claim.
Each state differs in how it handles medical negligence claims. Specific procedures and timelines vary depending on the circumstances of each case and the court in which it is filed.
Once your lawyer has established your eligibility to make a claim, the process involves obtaining medical records and evidence to support your case. Expert opinion from a third party medical professional will be sought.
Once your lawyer has gathered enough evidence, we will send a letter of demand to the healthcare provider or institution involved, outlining the allegations of negligence and the damages claimed.
The case will then proceed to mediation, an attempt to settle the matter out of court through negotiation. Our lawyers will represent your interests during these proceedings to ensure that you reserve the maximum compensation you deserve.
The most important part of building a medical negligence case is proving that the healthcare professional breached their duty of care. A person, or institution, is not negligent unless the following can be proved:
Determining this last requirement will be the primary concern of the courts as they review your case.
According to the Limitation of Actions Act 1958, a claim must be brought within three years from the date you become aware of the damages you have suffered.
GMP Law’s expert personal injury lawyers can manage complex medical negligence claims based on years of experience and specialisation. We will fight to win you the maximum compensation that you deserve, in the minimum time possible.
We start with a free no-obligation consultation, giving you one-on-one legal advice and evaluation of your case. Once we have established you have a claim, we will help you to collect medical records and supporting evidence.
Next, we will draft a brief to send to a medical expert who will look over the details of your case and full medical history. This is to determine what led to the injury or damage to your condition and what could have been avoided.
Once all of the information and data are compiled, we will meet again to compare information, build your case and then start proceedings. The next step will either be through mediation or will progress to court proceedings.
The result of a successful claim can help cover your medical expenses and any pain and suffering that accompanied the injury.
