MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS – INJURY COMPENSATION LAWYERS

Medical negligence occurs when a patient suffers injury from inadequate treatment or care from a medical practitioner or health care provider.

If you have suffered injury or loss from the negligence of any health care provider (such as a hospital, doctor, nurse, physiotherapist, chiropractor, dentist etc) then you may be entitled to compensation and we have experts ready to assist you.

 

Claiming Compensation for Medical Negligence

This is an outline of claiming compensation for medical negligence. For further information, please check out our FAQs page, or contact Walsh & Blair directly.


Health Care Providers and Duty of Care

Health care providers owe a ‘duty of care' to the public, which means there are strict regulations to provide treatment with a ‘reasonable standard of care'. In cases of medical negligence patients, and sometimes family members, can commence legal proceedings against health care providers by seeking advice from a personal injury lawyer and lodging a claim for medical negligence compensation.


How Walsh & Blair's Personal Injury Lawyers Prove Medical Negligence

To prove medical negligence, our personal injury lawyers must show the courts that the health care provider could, or should have foreseen that their actions may have resulted in injury. If there is a connection between the error of the health care provider's treatment and the resultant injury, sufficient evidence exists to succeed in a medical negligence compensation claim.

If you have suffered personal injury from a health care provider's wrongful treatment, you should immediately contact Walsh & Blair's personal injury lawyers as strict time limits apply to claims of medical negligence compensation.
