Importance of choosing the right lawyer for your medical negligence claim

As with all areas of personal injury, and particularly medical negligence, it is imperative your solicitors have access to the right experts and doctors. As highlighted in Morocz v Marshman [2015] NSWSC 149, a New South Wales Court can exclude an expert’s opinion and evidence if they lack the proper qualifications and experience. In Morocz v Marshman, the plaintiff’s expert evidence, critical of the operation performed at a major Sydney hospital,  was inadmissible on a number of grounds including the experts were not qualified to give evidence on the matters in dispute and they offered opinions outside their areas of expertise. The plaintiff’s experts offered “no identifiable reasoning to support [their] conclusions” and therefore were inadmissible and unable to assist the plaintiff in supporting allegations of the surgeon’s medical negligence.
