Medical malpractice occurs when your medical professional’s behaviour doesn’t meet the appropriate standard of care, and you suffer injury or loss. Medical professionals generally have a ‘duty of care’ to take care of you, and if this duty is breached you may be entitled to medical malpractice compensation.
Here are some examples of claims we can help with:
including claims relating to doctors, hospitals, surgery, misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis.
including injuries to mothers and babies, and birth defects caused by negligence.
including cosmetic surgery and dental negligence.
Medical malpractice payouts range from tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars. Depending on the severity of your injuries, the total compensation amount can include:
| Medical malpractice payments | |
|---|---|
| Lost income | The amount of income you’ve lost through time off work. |
| Medical expenses | Resulting from your injuries. |
| Travel expenses | To and from medical appointments and treatment. |
| Domestic assistance | The cost of getting help with home duties. |
| Pain and suffering | An amount to compensate you for your pain and suffering, based on the extent of your injuries. |
| Future losses | For example, your future earnings that you will miss out on as a result of your injuries. |

Medical malpractice claims are complex, so it’s important to get good advice and engage the services of a specialist medical malpractice lawyer. Your lawyer will engage one or more medical experts who have experience in medical malpractice to carry out assessments, review your medical records and provide a report detailing how your treatment was negligent.
We’ll manage this process for you, and we’ll cover the medical experts’ costs, so you won’t have to pay anything out of your own pocket.
If your medical malpractice claim is denied by the insurer, we’ll commence proceedings to take the matter to mediation. It’s at this stage that most claims are resolved and a settlement (i.e. a medical malpractice payout to you) is agreed upon. In the minority of cases where a settlement isn’t reached, we’ll advise you about taking your claim to court to pursue compensation.
Read this article, where we explore some medical malpractice cases that we’ve won on behalf of our clients, including payout amounts. We’ve included legal insights into why these were cases of medical malpractice, tips on how to tell if you might have a malpractice case, and information on how to get help with your case.
A no win no fee medical malpractice lawyer offers to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.
You must lodge your statement of claim within three years of the claim being discoverable. However, long-stop periods and considerations can be given to children and people with disabilities. If you’ve exceeded a time limitation, it may be possible for us to argue that the injury was not discoverable until a later date. You can speak with one of our specialist medical malpractice lawyers to get advice on your situation.
