Medical Claims

Many people at some stage in their lives require medical treatment. On occasion the system is found wanting and adverse outcomes arise. Sometimes these outcomes cannot be avoided. In other circumstances they have arisen as a result of substandard treatment. In these circumstances the law prescribes that compensation is available to put the injured person back in the position they were in before the negligent treatment arose. This is where we can help you.

Most patients are not medically minded and it is difficult to sometimes trace an outcome to an instance of wrongdoing. Most patients are also under general anaesthetic at the relevant time and so are reliant upon any explanations given to them by the treatment providers concerned. There is the opportunity of referring the circumstances for consideration to the Healthcare Complaints Commission and this is something we can assist you with. Very few patients are satisfied by that outcome. It also cannot award compensation.

Time is of the essence in respect of such cases and so such injured patients should seek legal advice as early as possible in order to safeguard their right to seek compensation. Ensure you have experienced professionals on your side and discuss your claim with us today!
