Medical negligence can change your life. If you have been harmed by a healthcare provider’s error, you may be entitled to compensation. Freadman Lawyers can explain your rights and help you pursue your claim.
What compensation can you claim? If your claim succeeds, compensation may include:
- medical expenses, past and future
- lost income and reduced earning capacity
- pain and suffering
- care and assistance costs
- other out-of-pocket expenses
The amount depends on how serious the harm is and how it has affected your life.
What is medical negligence? Medical negligence happens when a health professional fails to provide the standard of care expected, causing injury, a worse condition or even death. Examples include:
- misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- surgical errors
- medication mistakes
- birth injuries
- failure to warn of risks
- poor aftercare or follow-up
How a lawyer helps. Medical negligence claims are complex. We assess the strength of your claim, obtain independent medical evidence, negotiate with hospitals, practitioners and insurers, and represent you in court if necessary.
Time limits in Victoria. Strict time limits apply. Generally, proceedings must be started within three years of the date you knew, or ought to have known, about the injury and its cause, subject to a longer outer limit. Different rules can apply to children and people with a disability. Get advice early so your rights are protected.
