Am I eligible to file a medical negligence claim in Queensland?

Each state has its own legal process for medical negligence claims. In Queensland, you generally have three years from the date you became aware of the injury to take legal action, under the Limitation of Actions Act 1974 (QLD). Exceptions may apply, so it’s important to get advice early.

Our medical malpractice lawyers Brisbane team can help you assess your eligibility. Here’s what we’ll look at:

In Queensland, if your healthcare provider failed to deliver the level of care that a reasonably competent medical professional would have provided, you may be entitled to pursue a medical negligence claim.

This might include physical or psychological injury, worsening of your condition, or financial loss due to extra treatment or time off work.

A clear link must be established between the provider’s actions (or inaction) and your injury, usually supported by expert medical evidence.

If you answered yes to these questions, you may be eligible to file a claim. Our personal injury lawyers Brisbane are here to guide you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions about medical negligence claims in QLD

It depends, but at GMP Law, most claims are successfully settled outside of court.

Success rates vary based on the strength of the evidence, expert medical opinions, and how clearly negligence can be proven. While some claims go to court, many are resolved through negotiation or mediation before trial.

Working with an experienced medical negligence lawyer greatly improves your chances of achieving a positive outcome. At GMP Law, we focus on building strong cases that lead to fair settlements, without the stress of lengthy court proceedings.

Medical negligence compensation in Queensland covers both financial losses and the personal impact of your injury.

You may be entitled to claim for:

  • Past and future medical costs
  • Lost income or reduced earning capacity
  • Rehabilitation and care needs
  • Pain and suffering.

Each case is assessed individually, and the amount you receive depends on the severity of your injury, its impact on your daily life, and your long-term care needs.

The most difficult part is usually proving causation; that is, showing that the negligence directly caused your injury.

 

You need to show that the harm wouldn’t have occurred if the healthcare provider had acted appropriately. This often requires detailed medical records, independent expert reports, and clear evidence that links the breach of duty to the injury.
