Our Medical Negligence Attorneys Can Help You Determine If You Have a Case
Determining whether you have reasonable grounds to pursue compensation can be confusing. However, several indications could suggest your injury or illness resulted from errors in your treatment or care. As such, considering the following questions may give you some clarity:
- Do you believe the medical professional or organization could have done something different regarding your treatment or care that would have prevented your injury or illness?
- Are you now suffering due to the mistakes made with your treatment or care?
- Has your condition worsened, or have you developed other health issues after treatment?
- Has your doctor listened to your concerns?
- Was there a delay in your treatment or diagnostic tests?
- Is there a lack of communication or unwillingness to answer your questions?
- Have you received a different second opinion from another doctor?
- Did you first discover you have suffered as a result of medical negligence within the past two years?
If you have concerns about experiencing any of the above, it can be beneficial to discuss your situation in more detail with a medical negligence lawyer. Malpractice lawsuits are highly complex and require an in-depth knowledge of medicine and the law. Our injury attorneys can help you determine your legal position and provide advice about how to progress with your claim.

How We Build a Case to Prove Your Injury Resulted from Medical Malpractice
For a medical malpractice case to be considered, our medical negligence attorneys can help you prove the following elements:
Duty of Care:
Establishing the medical professional had a duty to provide care at a level reasonably expected of other practitioners in the same job role. This could be a doctor, midwife, surgeon, anesthetist, pharmacist, etc. This is usually fairly straightforward as the relationship between you and a professional health care practitioner typically creates a legal duty of care.
Breach of Duty:
Assessing the standard of care you received to decide whether or not it met a reasonably expected standard. Proving a healthcare practitioner breached their duty of care to you is central to the success of your claim, and it can be challenging to determine. For this reason, we call on independent medical experts to consider your case and look at whether a breach of duty of care caused you avoidable harm.
After breach of duty is determined, we can arrange for you to be assessed by a suitable independent medical expert to prepare a medical report outlining your condition. We can calculate how much compensation you could receive to cover your immediate and ongoing care and rehabilitation costs from the report.
Causation
We can help demonstrate that the mistakes made with your treatment or care caused your injuries or illness. For example, a patient suffering unnecessary harm due to a delay in their diagnosis or treatment. In short, establishing a link between the substandard care you received and your ensuing injuries or illness.
Harm
Lastly, we will need to demonstrate that the harm you suffered resulted in physical, emotional, and financial damages. Examples can include disability, pain and suffering, loss of income, and other related losses such as large medical bills.
