MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS PERTH
SEEKING COMPENSATION FOR MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA?
Although we can handle investigations and claims in relation to any area of medical practice, particular areas do seem to generate more claims than others. Compensation claims for medical negligence aim to cover losses incurred due to improper care, which could include medical expenses, loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and ongoing care costs. We are dedicated to delivering exceptional legal advice throughout the medical negligence claims process to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

TYPES OF MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE COMPENSATION CLAIMS WE HANDLE
Find out more about the types of medical negligence compensation claims we handle in specific areas of medical practice below.
Birth Injury
Injuries (both to mother and baby) can be life changing. We handle birth injury claims including cerebral palsy and hypoxic injuries, as well as injuries to the mother because of a traumatic birth. We also assist in matters where mother or baby has suffered physical or psychiatric injury following the birth.
Accident & Emergency
The first point of contact for those in urgent need. With a host of common time-critical problems, any delay or error can have profound consequences.
Bariatric surgery
An emerging key area of practice.
Tragically, an area in which surgery, often portrayed as simple and effective can have devastating consequences.
We have handled and continue to handle large numbers of cases involving sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass.
General practice
The cornerstone of our health-care system and unfortunately, an area of medicine in which claims often arise, most commonly for failure to further investigate or refer for specialist advice.
Cancer
Always an emotive and complex area of work. Medical negligence claims relating to delay in diagnosis and treatment of most common (and some very uncommon) forms of cancer, sadly arise far more often than they should.
ORTHOPAEDICS & NEUROSURGERY
A traditionally high-volume area of surgical claims. Medical negligence claims are frequently seen and handled involving poor advice, technical proficiency and management of post-operative complications (infection and DVT particularly).
Gynaecology
An area related to women’s health-based cases that, unfortunately, are the most common area for claims. Often cases hinge on poor communication: inadequate warnings, lack of discussion about alternatives etc.
Radiology
Increasing reliance on imaging and the volume of work faced by radiologists, result, perhaps inevitably, in errors of analysis and reporting.
The blurring of lines between surgeon and radiologist in interventional radiology is also a recurrent area of claims.
Psychiatry
An emerging area of work, with growing recognition of mental health and limits on available resources.
Cases include misdiagnosis, poor management of medication and failure to identify and protect at-risk patients, sometimes with tragic consequences.
Brain Injury
If you have an Acquired Brain Injury or a Traumatic Brain Injury which is the result of someone else’s negligence, then you may be entitled to an injury compensation claim. Our brain injury compensation lawyers are here to assist.
Hospital Negligence
If you or a loved one have experienced significant physical, emotional, or financial harm due to hospital negligence, it’s crucial to understand your rights and explore your options for seeking compensation.
Dental Malpractice
Injuries resulting from dental malpractice can be both painful and traumatic. If you suspect that your dentist has breached their duty of care through negligence or intentional wrongdoing, you might be entitled to compensation.
Other claims
Apart from the areas above, we have handled and are handling a huge number of medical negligence claims covering areas such as cardiology, gastroenterology, cosmetic surgery and nursing care. Allied health care claims have included claims relating to physiotherapy, occupation therapy and naturopathy.
