If you have been injured or there’s a breach of duty of care owed by a medical practitioner or medical facility you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. We can provide you the guidance and support you need to get best result in this situation.
Medical negligence law is very technical. If you think you have undergone some medical treatment which has left you permanently worse off than when you started then it is important you get advice about whether or not a claim for negligence can be made against your health provider or hospital.
These claims must be brought within 3 years of the date of the negligence. It is a matter of obtaining an expert to provide a medical opinion to say you suffered an injury at the hands of a treatment provider and that the problem is serious enough to consider bring an action against the provider.
Proceedings are usually commenced in the District or Supreme Court. You don’t have to go to court hearing as most cases settle. We are expert in providing advice and the law obliges us not to commence proceedings unless we believe such a case has reasonable prospects of success. We will never put you at risk, nor risk our own time and money on a case we don’t think will result in an award in your favour.
We offer a No Win No Fee guarantee. We will pay your disbursements which are the fees outlaid in advance for the preparation of your claim. These can be very substantial. We will not charge any interest on those disbursements. This eliminates any chance of a ‘no win no fee no catch’. You only pay our legal fees if your case is successful.
