Medical negligence

Understanding your rights regarding proper medical care standards may be difficult during a critical illness. You are entitled to file a medical negligence claim if there is any harm to the patient while under the care of a healthcare provider or the patient experiences negligent treatment or malpractice by a medical practitioner.
The negligence falls under these categories:
  • You might be eligible to file a claim for compensation if problems resulting from your medical provider’s carelessness during pregnancy caused you or your child to suffer. Medical malpractice frequently occurs in hospital settings and causes various illnesses, including neonatal traumas, soon after birth.

    • Additionally, using too much force while giving birth, delaying a c-section, and many other factors might result in injuries. Legal action for compensation is possible against hospitals and healthcare providers who are found to have neglected patients.
  • You might be eligible to file a claim for compensation for medical negligence if you received careless treatment, such as a false diagnosis, failure to diagnose a fatal disease at the right time, or prescribing the wrong medicine. Another form of negligence is an anaesthesia error. Anaesthesia is counterproductive when misused because it can harm the body and the mind.

    • Surgical errors are also frequent in healthcare settings and include operating on the wrong organ, using unsterilized equipment that causes infections, and operating unnecessarily for monetary gains.

  • If the negligent behaviour of healthcare providers results in the death of a person, their loved ones are entitled to make claims. If you can demonstrate that the medical care your loved one received was subpar and contributed to their death, you can claim either of the two:
    • Psychological injury: You might be entitled to compensation if the loss of that person caused you to experience psychological harm.
    • Dependent assertion: You may be able to make a claim if you were financially dependent on the individual who passed away due to careless medical treatment.
Medical malpractice lawsuits are, by their very nature, difficult to defend. Engaging a lawyer with specialised knowledge and expertise is critical if you file a compensation claim to ensure you get the best legal result possible.
