Medical Negligence Claims

In general legal terms, medical negligence may justify a claim demanding compensation for injury suffered by a patient undergoing medical care by a doctor or some other medical professional including GP's, surgeons, specialists, dentists, anaesthetist. Although some patients may take into account filing a medical negligence claim, the truth is that negligence on its own is not sufficient for taking this particular course of action.

There are various situations that may demand filing a medical malpractice claim, and to do that the patient must be aware of the rules and procedures associated with filing such a claim. These official terms may differ according to where the patient lives and where the medical negligence occurred. Deciding whether to take the case to court the patient must follow certain steps, and the most important step is determining whether the patient is able to prove his claims or not.

Every day in hospitals and medical institutions, trained medical professionals make misdiagnoses and mistakes when carrying out procedures, yet these malpractices may often go unnoticed or unreported within Australia.

  3. The medical practitioner does not give adequate care or treatment to the patient within a reasonable time frame. This could include not offering surgery on a ailment that ultimate leads to further medical complications. Failure to recommend any treatment may cause further harm to the patient.

Examples of treatment which may be considered negligent (depending on the circumstances of the case):

  • failing to diagnose a condition;
  • failing to provide the appropriate treatment for the condition;

SOME FURTHER GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE

What is medical malpractice and what must be proven?

Medical Negligence is where an injury or death was caused by the negligence of a medical professional.  Doctors, nurses, dentists are expected to act professionally and ethically at all times.   Sometimes however medical professionals, like anyone, make mistakes.  They may make poor judgments because of being tired and overworked or in a situation where they are under-qualified.

In a short explanation medical malpractice is when a doctor, surgeon, nurse, dentist, medical facility or hospital does something to a patient under their care that ends up harming the patient due to negligence, hence the phrase "Medical Negligence".

Whatever the reason if you or someone in your family have been injured or died by medical treatment then you may be entitled to compensation.

To find out if you have a Medical Negligence Claim please complete your free Legal Enquiry Form.

Health care providers, doctors, nurses, dentists and other medical practitioners must provide treatment and advice that is in accordance with a reasonable standard of care. If your health care provider or general practitioner fails to take “reasonable care” then they have breached their duty of care to you. Failing to take reasonable care, in circumstances where the health care provider could or should have foreseen that their actions could injure you, is medical negligence. If you have suffered from medical negligence, then you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, disabilities, suffering and loss. Please complete our FREE online Legal Enquiry Form, to discover the compensation you could be entitled to.

To find out if you have a Medical Negligence Claim please complete your free Legal Enquiry Form.

Generally speaking, to establish medical negligence, it must be proven that:

  1. The doctor owed the patient a duty of care;
  2. The doctor breached that duty of care by some act or omission;
  3. This act or omission has caused the patient physical and/or financial harm.

1. Duty of care.

Because of the dependence upon the health care practitioner for physical and mental care and well-being of the patient, the law has established that he/she owes the patient a "duty of care". This is based on the principle that a person must take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions which would be likely to harm any person they ought reasonably foresee as being so harmed. If they fail to do this, a healthcare or general practitioner may be liable in a civil action for negligence.

2. Breach of Duty of Care.

In considering whether one has breached a duty of care, the courts look at the standard of care which would be reasonably expected from a person acting in the defendant's circumstances, in the capacity in which the defendant was acting (eg as a doctor, nurse, dentist etc).

Healthcare practitioners do not have to be perfect, but have only to exercise the skill that a reasonable practitioner professing the skills in question would be expected to exercise in the circumstances. To help the court make an assessment in this regard, expert witnesses (other healthcare practitioners experienced in the field) are called to give their opinion as to whether the actions in question were in fact reasonable under the circumstances.

It is impossible to set out a comprehensive explanation of what is a reasonable standard of care that covers every possible health care situation in one statement. Each case must be considered on its own merits.

To find out if you have a Medical Negligence Claim and the potential compensation entitlements you could receive, please complete your free Legal Enquiry Form, or click here.

3. Damages

A plaintiff must show that he/she suffered from harm, and that the harm was caused by the defendant's act or omission. Just as one can cause harm to another, but will not be liable at law if he or she was not negligent, a person can be negligent, but not be liable at law if no damage as been caused.

In law, the amount of compensation granted as a result of a successful negligence action is referred to as "damages".

Damages may be awarded for:

  • medical expenses
  • cost of appliances or housing alterations for someone with a physical disability
  • cost of care and domestic assistance
  • loss of income
  • general damages for pain and suffering.
  • if you have suffered an injury, disability or a worse outcome as a result of:
  • medical error
  • poor medical treatment
  • delay in diagnosis
  • wrong diagnosis
  • wrong treatment and/or medication
  • loss of a chance at a better outcome

From a doctor, nurse, dentist, hospital or other health professional, then you may be entitled to compensation. If you have lost a loved one as a result of medical error or medical neglect, you may also be entitled to compensation.
Do not delay in seeking legal advice as strict time limits apply to the making of compensation claims.

What should I do if I or a loved one feels they have experienced medical malpractice?

If you feel that you or someone that you love has been a victim of this then the best thing that you can do is to make sure that you speak with a medical negligence lawyer, as soon as possible. Click here to be put in contact with a specialist Medical Negligence Lawyer and find out whether you might have a case against the doctor or hospital.

What should I expect from a medical negligence claim?

There really isn't any set thing that you should expect as each case is unique. The outcome will depend on exactly what happened, what you are asking for and what the doctor or hospital chooses to do. Many times the doctor or hospital will do whatever they can to try and make sure that the matter gets settled out of court. The reason is that they simply don't want to get any bad press for going to Court. This can often be good for the person that was the victim as it will help them to move on faster. The thing that you need to remember is that the amount that you will get and the process in which you much go through will vary from case to case.

The most common types of medical negligence you can claim compensation for.

What is a medical negligence claim for compensation?

Claiming Medical Negligence - Medical Negligence Claims

Do you have a Medical Negligence Claim?

To understand what a "medical negligence claim" is one must look at the meaning of each word in turn.

"Medical" - this refers to the medical and dental professions. It includes doctors, consultants, nurses, dentists, the ambulance service and all other medical treatment providers, medical practitioners and health care professionals.

"Negligence" - for example: in the medical profession this means that a doctor acted with skill at a lower standard than that which would normally be expected of a doctor.

When it comes to diagnosis - a doctor must show that he acted in accordance with a respected group of medical thought to avoid being negligent. It does not mean that he has to have acted with the only group of medical thought as there are likely to be several.

"Claim" - this can be a claim for compensation for personal injury (damages), financial loss or both.

So a "medical negligence claim" is a claim for compensation for mistakes made by the medical professionals.

If you believe that you have a medical negligence claim, then please complete your free legal enquiry form to request help from a lawyer. Click here to complete your free legal enquiry form.

What are the different types of medical negligence you can claim compensation for?

There are many different types of medical negligence you can claim compensation for including:

Birth Injury

Compensation can be claimed for a child born disabled due to incorrect administering of drugs to the mother prior to birth or due to an error made during the birth itself.

Hospital negligence

There are many mistakes that a hospital can make that can lead to injury. For example - if you went into surgery with a failing kidney and by mistake the hospital removed your healthy kidney you are entitled to compensation.

Negligence on the part of doctors, nurses and health care professionals in hospitals can result in patient injury and even death. Injury caused by medical mistakes in hospitals can lead to future health concerns, additional hospital bills and unnecessary emotional distress.

Dental negligence

For example - a dentist who misinterprets your x rays leading to a healthy tooth being removed.

Negligent medical advice

For example - if a doctor does not warn you correctly about the risks of an operation and something goes wrong you may be entitled to compensation. Had you known the real risk of the operation you may not have consented to it taking place.

Negligence nursing

Nurses are as much a part of the medical profession as doctors so their mistakes can equally lead you to having a claim for compensation.

Sterilisation failure/ failed abortion

A compensation claim can be made for the birth of a child that was not planned. Had the sterilisation or alternatively an abortion been performed correctly the a child would not have been born.

Battery

If you are operated on without giving consent - your person is invaded which is known as battery for which you are entitled to claim compensation.

As soon as you suspect you have suffered personal injury due to medical negligence there are some important steps you should take.

Negligent diagnosis

When visiting a doctor, a patient expects that the symptoms presented will prompt the proper diagnosis, leading to a successful treatment and recovery. Health care professionals have a responsibility of providing a standard of care that promotes the well-being of the patient. Unfortunately, negligence on the part of the doctor could lead him or her to misdiagnose a condition, creating additional health concerns for the patient.

In some cases, a completely wrong diagnosis is given based on symptoms that may be similar to the actual condition. In these cases, a doctor may have performed an inadequate examination and made a diagnoses based on negligent findings. This can result in the prescription of unnecessary drugs (medication errors) and also allows the misdiagnosed condition to go untreated.

Another case of misdiagnosis occurs when a secondary condition goes undetected and an inadequate or incorrect drug is prescribed. In cases of both wrong diagnosis and undetected secondary conditions, a risk of harmful reactions to incorrect drugs is possible, and an untreated condition can result in further medical deterioration or even death.

Delayed diagnosis occurs when a condition is overlooked as a result of a negligent examination, allowing the condition to worsen before it is detected. This could lead to increased illness and a more complex treatment method when the condition is finally detected.

Surgical errors

Negligence can lead to infection or surgery on the wrong body part or the wrong patient.

Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is performed to alter a person’s appearance. Reconstructive surgery also is considered cosmetic surgery but is performed to correct disfigurement.

With cosmetic surgery, negligence can occur, causing physical and even life-threatening side effects.

Medical malpractice in the field of cosmetic surgery can occur when unqualified doctors perform what are seemingly simple cosmetic procedures.

Prescription Errors

Medication errors are among the most common medical errors, causing injury and even death. Types of hospital medication errors include:

  • Miscommunication of drug orders (e.g., confusion over drugs with similar names, confusion based on prescription labeling)
  • Inappropriate labeling during packaging
  • Lack of proper drug information
  • Incomplete collection of patient information

Medication errors can occur throughout the medical profession within the process of providing prescription or non-prescription drugs to patients. The physician has the responsibility of staying knowledgeable about the medications he or she is prescribing. A pharmacist is expected to dispense the correct drug in correct doses. Nurses must know enough about medications to identify inaccurate prescriptions or dangerous drug combinations.
