Medical negligence claims, also known as medical malpractice claims are designed to provide compensation to persons who have suffered physical and/or psychological injuries as a result of an accident that was caused by the fault or negligence of a medical professional.
If you have been injured as a result of negligence on the part of your doctor, dentist, hospital, nurse, chiropractor, physiotherapists etc, you may be entitled to compensation.
Some examples of medical negligence include the following:-
- Failure to obtain consent for medical treatment and/or surgery;
- Failure to warn of risks associated with treatment;
- Failure to diagnoses your condition, which has caused further injury;
- Failure to refer your management of your condition to specialist;
- Failure to provide adequate treatment of your condition.
It should be noted that every claim must be individually assessed, as not every situation where something medically goes wrong is grounds for a medical negligence claim.
However if negligence on the part of the medical professional can be established, you are entitled to recover damages.
