Medical Negligence Compensation Entitlements

The compensation you will receive from a successful medical negligence claim is calculated based on the nature of your injury, rather than the level of negligence of your doctor.

This means that even if a small mistake on the part of the health care provider results in an extremely detrimental injury to you, you are entitled to ample compensation.

The exact amount will be determined by the courts, after considering all of the evidence. For this reason it is important to have a strong legal representative fighting your case, since the insurance company and healthcare provider will certainly have an aggressive defence.

Determining the amount of compensation

Factors that will be considered to determine your exact compensation are: your current diagnosis, whether your medical condition is stabilised or if there is a chance of future deterioration, how fit you are for work, the capacity to which you are incapacitated, etc.
