Medical Negligence

We are experienced in representing clients in cases involving injuries brought on by medical malpractice or delayed diagnosis and treatment. In matters involving patients or family members who claim professional negligence or malpractice on the part of a doctor, clinic, hospital or other healthcare provider, our lawyers have offered advice, representation, and mediated agreements.

We walked our clients through each step of the pre-action protocols and sourced expert opinions to support the client’s case. At “without prejudice” meetings with the healthcare providers involved, issues could be narrowed down. More importantly, the clients had a chance to vent their grievances and seek the necessary clarifications.

We frequently assist clients to reach a negotiated settlement of the conflict and offer guidance so they can proceed appropriately after reaching a well-informed decision.

Some cases of medical negligence that we have handled include:

• Eye infection in an infant

• Continual issues with ankle post-operation

• Issues with pre-operation procedures by anaesthetist

• Respiratory issues not detected by doctor

• A broken hip implant not detected by the healthcare provider
