How Our Medical Negligence Lawyers in Sydney Can Help
Have you suffered a personal injury due to medical treatment or advice from a health professional or hospital? Our medical negligence lawyers in Sydney can help determine whether you are entitled to compensation for the injury. Our lawyers will prove that the health professional or hospital was negligent and that their negligence caused your injury. For example, doctors may differ regarding the treatment recommended for the same illness. If a significant number of Australian medical practitioners decide that the treatment falls outside what would be considered acceptable, the treatment is considered negligent. So, seeking legal advice as soon as possible after your injury is vital.
Our lawyers will investigate the matter and prepare your case. You can opt for us to help you explore a negotiated settlement before lodging the claim with the court, or we can skip that phase and go to court. A medical negligence case must be lodged before the third anniversary of the date of the treatment that caused the injury.
How Will Our Medical Negligence Lawyers in Sydney Win a Claim?
Our medical negligence lawyers in Sydney will start your case by taking a detailed history from you. We will then obtain your medical records regarding the treatment. This allows us to understand your claim. Next, our lawyers will work with a medical expert in the field of your claim. The medical professional will review your records and provide an opinion about whether the treatment or advice falls outside what is considered acceptable. The opinion report is called a liability report. We will then collect evidence to prove your loss was due to the injury.
The amount of compensation you can claim depends on your circumstances, including the extent of your injury, whether you lost your job, and whether you need ongoing medical treatment. The period your compensation claim takes depends on how long you take to recover. Before finalising the claim, the court must understand the extent of your injury and its effects on your future life. So, it is recommended that your case is not finalised until your injury has stabilised.
Our medical negligence lawyers in Sydney will prioritise your needs and use the best strategy to get you the best results.
