Health Injury |
If you have suffered an injury because of surgery, medical treatment or while in the care of a health professional or in hospital, you may have a claim for medical negligence as a result of your health injury. This is a particularly complicated area of law and one where you need to call on the advice of a Specialised Accredited Personal Injury Specialist early.
Medical negligence, or malpractice is difficult to prove – sometimes medical treatment fails and injuries occur, but that doesn’t mean there has been any negligence.
Simone’s experience as a nurse working with critically ill patients in hospital, provides an added insight into this field of law which most compensation lawyers can’t offer.
If the care you have received from a hospital, doctor, dentist, pharmacist or other allied health professional was below the acceptable standard and you suffered an injury as a result, you may have a claim. It doesn’t matter if the care or procedure was performed in a public or private facility. Time limits do apply, so if this has happened to you – contact Simone today.
We understand that this is frightening and uncertain time and making a claim can be daunting in the face of medical expertise and experience.
Your story may be hard to tell. You may be in pain or very unwell and medical procedures are intimate and often hard to talk about. The last thing you want is to tell your story over and over again, from the receptionist, to the junior lawyer to the Partner – only to have your case handed back to the junior lawyer.
That is why our approach is different to the others. Simone will come to you, at the hospital, at home, or wherever is most convenient and comfortable for you – and she will be with you all the way. Because she understands hospital procedures, the medical system (both public and private) and the information contained in medical records and reports, the process will be easier and less stressful.
Injury Law Experts will keep you informed along the way, represent you at mediation and settlement hearings and if needed, represent you in court.
