Medical Negligence

Medical Negligence is the area of personal injury law which can protect you from suffering negligence or poor treatment by the medical system.

It can also be called "medical malpractice" or "clinical negligence".
 
If you have not been provided with a ‘reasonable standard of care’ in a medical facility or by medical personnel, you can file a medical negligence claim. This includes health care providers such as hospitals, doctors, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, pharmacists, psychologists, physiotherapists, etc.


You are owed a duty of care

Under the medical system in Australia, you are owed a duty of care, and you deserve compensation if there has been a failure to live up to this standard. Any injury resulting from carelessness is professional negligence on the part of the health care provider, and Australian law protects you from these situations.

All of our firms and offices throughout rural and urban New South Wales and Queensland have experienced personal injury lawyers who can offer you legal advice or representation if you have been a victim of medical negligence.
