Your Criminal Law Questions, Answered by Melbourne’s Defence Experts
Medical negligence can take many forms, including surgical errors, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, medication mistakes, and inadequate follow-up care. If you’ve experienced harm due to a healthcare provider’s failure to meet their duty of care, you may be eligible for compensation.
At Pentana Stanton Lawyers, we help identify the specific breaches and guide you towards a resolution.
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to deliver an expected standard of care, resulting in harm or injury. This may include actions or omissions that a competent professional would have avoided.
At Pentana Stanton Lawyers, we offer a free case assessment to evaluate your situation and determine if your claim has merit.
In Australia, time limits for filing a medical negligence claim generally range from three to six years, depending on the circumstances. However, exceptions can apply, particularly if the harm becomes evident over time.
Our team at Pentana Stanton Lawyers ensures that your claim is lodged within the required timeframe, so you don’t miss the opportunity to seek justice.
What types of compensation can I claim for medical negligence?
If you’ve experienced harm due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. At Pentana Stanton Lawyers, we’ll carefully assess your case to identify all potential avenues for compensation, ensuring your losses are accounted for.
Can I pursue a medical negligence claim if I’ve signed a consent form?
Signing a consent form does not absolve healthcare providers of their responsibility to deliver a reasonable standard of care. If you believe negligence occurred during your treatment, you may still have a valid claim. We can help you review the specifics of your situation and determine the next steps.
What evidence is needed to support a medical negligence claim?
Key evidence includes medical records, reports from independent medical experts, correspondence with healthcare providers, and documentation of your injuries and losses. Our experienced lawyers will guide you through the evidence-gathering process to build a strong case on your behalf.
What should I do if I suspect I’ve been a victim of medical negligence?
It’s important to document everything, including medical records, dates, and conversations with your healthcare provider. Seeking legal advice early is critical to understanding your rights and the strength of your claim. Reach out to Pentana Stanton Lawyers for a free case assessment.
How much does it cost to file a medical negligence claim?
We understand that legal costs can be a concern. At Pentana Stanton Lawyers, we offer transparent fee structures and can often work on a no-win, no-fee basis for medical negligence cases. Contact us to discuss your options without financial pressure.
How long does a medical negligence case take to resolve?
The timeline for resolving a medical negligence case varies depending on its complexity. While some cases settle within months, others may take longer if they go to court. Our team will keep you informed every step of the way and work to achieve the best possible outcome efficiently.
Can I file a claim on behalf of a family member?
Yes, if a family member has been incapacitated or tragically passed away due to medical negligence, you may be able to file a claim on their behalf. Our compassionate team can help guide you through the process and ensure their rights are upheld.
What are my chances of winning a medical negligence case?
Every case is unique, and outcomes depend on the strength of evidence, the circumstances of your treatment, and expert opinions. During your consultation, our team will provide an honest assessment of your claim’s likelihood of success and help you make an informed decision.
