Have You Suffered Because of Hospital Negligence?

If you have suffered harm because of the actions of a negligent surgeon, nurse, doctor or other healthcare professional, our experienced medical lawyers can assess your circumstances and advise you about your legal options.

A poor medical outcome does not necessarily mean that you have grounds for a compensation claim. Hospitals and healthcare professionals are required to provide treatment that meets an appropriate standard of care. To make a successful claim, it will generally be necessary to show that this standard was not met and that the failure caused you injury, loss or additional suffering.

Even when a procedure is unsuccessful or medication causes complications, the hospital may have acted reasonably based on your condition and individual healthcare needs. In these circumstances, obtaining compensation can be difficult. However, hospitals and their staff sometimes make preventable mistakes.

Hospital negligence claims can be complex. It is important to choose medical lawyers who understand how hospitals operate in NSW and have experience handling claims involving negligent hospital staff.

Your claim will need to establish that the harm you suffered could have been avoided if the hospital or healthcare professional had provided an appropriate standard of care.

Our medical lawyers will pursue your claim using a practical and effective approach while working to minimise stress for you and your family. Depending on your circumstances, we may be able to help you claim compensation for:

• Loss of earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Medical and treatment expenses
• Rehabilitation costs
• Care and assistance
• Loss of enjoyment and quality of life

Contact our medical lawyers to discuss your hospital negligence claim and learn more about your rights.

The following injuries, places or circumstances generally entitle you (the victim) to make a compensation claim against a hospital:

• The hospital staff breached their duty of care - Such as the doctor, nurse or surgeon demonstrating poor communication/diagnostic skills, being under influence of drugs/alcohol, not following the established rules, or failure to report results or diagnose conditions.
• Your medical practioner was licensed & insured - Hospital medical professionals bound by professional indemnity insurance, including Doctors, Surgeons, Nurses, Radiologists, Anesthetist, Pregnancy/Infancy professionals (Obstetricians and Paediatricians), Chiropractors, Physiotherapists.
• Your procedure or surgery resulted in unreasonable damage - It's not uncommon for procedures to have unexpected outcomes - However, not all outcomes are grounds for compensation. If you feel your procedure was unsuccessful, you may have grounds to claim compensation if the procedure made your original issue worse, created new problems, or was delayed without proper reason.
• Your medicine was incorrectly administered  -  If you were given the wrong medicine, the incorrect dosage, or at the wrong time - There may be grounds for a claim. Common incidences include failing to administer antibiotics, failure to monitor and adjust fluid levels, or failure to acknowledge preexisting conditions or allergies.
