Medical Misdiagnosis Claims

Has your doctor, surgeon, nurse or GP given you an incorrect or misleading diagnosis? If you believe your medical practitioner acted negligently and outside their duty of care to you as a patient, we can help you.

If your doctor has misdiagnosed you or someone you know, you have the right to seek compensation for the consequences of the mistake, which can be devastating. Failure to diagnose the correct medicine is a serious breach of duty of care and can result in devastating effects for the patient, including longer recovery times, complications which pose a risk to the patient and higher medical expenses.

The nature of medical misdiagnosis is complex. That's why it's essential to choose a legal team who know exactly how health/medical services and insurance companies operate in NSW.

We have over 20 years experience settling claims against doctors and medical staff who have acted negligently and diagnosed incorrect conditions and symptoms.

Your claim must prove that the damage caused to you as a result of the wrong diagnosis could have been prevented if the doctor had otherwise given you the correct diagnosis.

Our medical negligence experts will go about the smartest, most effective way to ensure you get the compensation for your loss and suffering, to ensure that minimal stress is endured by you and your loved ones. We can help you achieve compensation for your claim, including loss of earnings, pain and suffering, medical expenses, rehabilitation, and loss of life quality.

The following conditions generally entitle you (the victim) to make a compensation claim if you have received a misdiagnosis resulting in significant harm:

• Delay in or failure to diagnose an illness or condition
• Delay in or failure to provide the appropriate treatment or referral for the illness or condition
• Failure to perform surgery with reasonable care and skill
• Failure to accurately report correct results
• Failure to provide post-operative care with reasonable care and skill
• Making an existing medical condition worse

Medical misdiagnosis can be put into three categories:

1. Total Misdiagnosis - Where medical staff have failed to diagnose a health condition or illness after initial health problems.
2. Late Misdiagnosis - Where a delay in diagnosis has led to recovery time or other health issues
3. Incorrect Diagnosis - Where a patient has been diagnosed with a condition they do not have, have been prescribed unnecessary medication or administered unnecessary treatment

We can help you determine:

1. If your medical negligence claim is eligible.
   Time constraints and circumstance mean your case may or may not be eligible, particularly for medical malpractice.
2. The likelihood of you receiving medical negligence compensation.
   We offer a no win, no fee* policy, meaning we won't set unreasonable expectations. Even though you may be genuinely suffering from negligence, the circumstances of your claim may limit your potential for compensation.
3. How quickly you will receive compensation.
   We will establish an estimated timeframe for a successful settlement. Get in touch with us today for a free, no obligation consultation to discuss your claim.
