Medical negligence is a type of personal injury claim. It is care from a medical practitioner that is considered to be below an acceptable professional standard.

Since medical negligence is considered personal injury, the same timelines apply for seeking compensation. 

For a medical negligence claim you will need to be able to prove the following: 

1. Duty of Care - we would need to establish the duty of care of your medical practitioner. 

2. Breach of that Duty - we would need to be able to prove there was a breach in that duty of care. 

3. Causation - we would need to be able to show that there has been some form of harm caused by their breach of duty. 

You would be able to claim compensation of medical expenses, loss of wages, any physical and/or emotional pain that may have incurred due to the malpractice.
