What is Medical Negligence?​

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to take reasonable care to avoid injury, or when their negligence results in the death of a person under their medical care. If you’ve experienced such an unfortunate event, our QLD injury lawyers are proficient in handling these complex claims.

Medical malpractice claims can be made against doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and allied health professionals.

Examples of medical malpractice include:

  • Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis
  • Misreading or ignoring laboratory results
  • Recommending and performing unnecessary surgery
  • Making surgical errors or wrong site surgery
  • Failing to provide proper medication or dosage
  • Providing poor follow-up or aftercare treatment
  • Discharging from the medical facility too early 
  • Failing to regard or consider patient history
  • Failing to order proper testing
  • Failing to recognise symptoms

  • The healthcare provider was negligent, providing less than the appropriate medical standard of care
  • The healthcare provider’s negligence caused the injury or death
  • The injury led to specific damages (i.e. physical and mental anguish, additional medical bills or loss of income)
  • The healthcare provider failed to provide a reasonable diagnosis, leading to a harmful outcome
  • The healthcare provider administered your treatment incompetently
  • The healthcare provider failed to warn about the known risks of the procedure or course of treatment

How to Start a Medical Negligence Claim

Making a medical negligence claim against a medical practitioner is challenging. However, if you are serious about lodging a medical negligence claim, our lawyers can provide you with the advice you need.

Our lawyers will help you gather all the evidence and documentation you will need for your claim and assist you through the process.

Our lawyers operate on a no win no fee basis, so you will only be charged when you win your case. Contact our lawyers today for an obligation free discussion about your case.

To lodge a successful medical negligence claim, it’s crucial to provide credible evidence, such as a medicolegal report from an independent health specialist, to support the medical negligence claim.

Our lawyers will help you compile the necessary evidence that can be used to support your medical negligence claim once you engage our services.

It is important to note, the Queensland law requires the person considering court action to give notice to the person they want to file the claim against.

Following this, a compulsory conference must be organised to identify and clarify the issues in the dispute, and propose a settlement that will be appropriate to resolve the dispute. Our medical negligence lawyers can help you through this process.

When a settlement is not reached at the compulsory conference, there is a 60 day window from the date of the compulsory conference to file and serve the medical practitioner with a claim in the appropriate court.
