Medical Negligence
Medical Negligence is the portion of personal injury law which protects you from suffering negligence or poor treatment within the medical system.
It is also called Medical Malpractice or Clinical Negligence.You can file a medical negligence claim if you have not been provided with a ‘reasonable standard of care’ in a medical facility or by medical personnel. This includes health care providers such as hospitals, doctors, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, pharmacists, psychologists, physiotherapists, etc.
You are owed a duty of care
The medical system in Australia owes you a high standard of care, otherwise known as a 'duty of care', and you deserve compensation if there has been a failure to live up to this standard. Any injury resulting from such 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.
