In a medical negligence case, the plaintiff must establish that the method of care received by the patient was below the standard of care accepted in the medical community. For that purpose, the plaintiff may require at least one medico legal opinion which supports the plaintiff’s case. Some jurisdictions such as New South Wales require that the lawyers should commence court proceedings by filing an expert report with the Plaintiff’s statement of claims. However, finding supportive medical opinions can be extremely difficult in Australia, for the reason that most medical professionals hesitate to give evidence against their fellow doctors. Then the plaintiff will have to get expert reports from other countries such as the United Kingdom, and that can be every expensive.
