Medical Negligence

Medical Negligence is the portion of Personal Injury Law which protects you from suffering negligence or poor treatment within the medical system.  It is also called Medical Malpractice or Clinical Negligence. 

You can file a Medical Negligence claim if you have not been provided with a ‘reasonable standard of care’ in a medical facility or by medical personnel.  This includes health care providers such as hospitals, doctors, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, pharmacists, psychologists, physiotherapists, etc. 

The medical system in Australia owes you a high standard of care - also referred to as a duty of care, and you deserve compensation if there has been a failure to live up to this standard.  Any injury resulting from such carelessness is professional negligence on the part of the health care provider, and Australian law protects you from these situations.

DISCLAIMER
The material on this website provides a broad outline of your rights. Personal Injury Law is quite complex however and the website would be difficult to read if we attempted to set out in detail all of the relevant legislation. Accordingly you should not make any decision to pursue or not to pursue a claim without having a personal injury lawyer consider the details of your case. We would, of course, recommend a Stacks/Compensation Lawyer.
