Medical Negligence Law.
When you or your child have been injured by medical treatment, or if you are the dependant of a patient who died as a result of medical treatment, you may be entitled to compensation. Civil legal proceedings in Court for compensation arising from the circumstances of the adverse medical event, usually involve the claimant or "plaintiff" seeking to prove the tort of Negligence before the Court.
The cause of action in negligence usually arises in one or more of the following situations:
Treatment:-
• failing to perform surgery with reasonable care and skill;
• failing to provide post-operative care with reasonable care and skill;
• failing to provide the appropriate referral for the condition;
• failing to appropriately treat a condition.
Diagnosis:-

• delay in diagnosis of a condition resulting in a poor outcome;
• misdiagnosis;
• failing to report correctly on test results.
Provision of Information/Advice:-
• failing to warn of risks associated with a procedure or treatment;
