When medical care causes harm, the impact on your health
and wellbeing can be life-changing.
When the Medical Care
You Trusted
Let's You Down
When you put your health in someone else’s hands, you expect safe, attentive and appropriate care. Ongoing pain, unexpected complications or the feeling that your concerns were not properly addressed can leave you questioning what happened and what to do next.
Not every poor medical outcome is caused by negligence. You are not expected to know whether what happened was an unavoidable complication or the result of care that fell below an acceptable standard.
We listen to your experience, review the care you received and obtain independent medical advice where appropriate. We can then help you understand whether you may have grounds for a medical negligence claim and what steps you can take to seek answers, support and fair compensation.
What Is a
Medical Negligence Claim?
A medical negligence claim is made when the care you received fell below acceptable professional standards and caused you injury, complications, or a worsening of your condition. Not every poor outcome is negligence, but if something feels avoidable or unexplained, it’s worth having it reviewed.
A short, confidential conversation can help you understand whether your experience may meet the legal criteria for a claim.
Common Reasons for Medical Negligence Claims
Medical negligence can occur in many situations. Some of the most common include:
- Delayed or missed diagnosis
- Surgical or procedural errors
- Medication mistakes
- Failure to monitor your condition properly
- Misinterpreted scans or test results
- Poor follow-up after treatment
- Infections caused by inadequate care
If any of these sound familiar, you may have grounds to explore a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to make a medical negligence claim?
In NSW, you generally have three years from when you became aware (or should have become aware) of the negligence to commence proceedings. However, there are exceptions for children and people under legal disability. It's crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What compensation can I claim for medical negligence?
Compensation may include past and future medical expenses, loss of income and earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, care and assistance needs, and out-of-pocket expenses. The amount depends on the severity of your injury and its impact on your life.
Do I need to prove the doctor was negligent?
Yes, you must prove that the healthcare provider breached their duty of care by falling below the accepted standard of practice, and that this breach caused your injury. We engage independent medical experts to provide opinions supporting your claim.
How long does a medical negligence claim take?
The timeframe varies depending on the complexity of your case. Simple claims may settle within 12-18 months, while complex cases can take 2-3 years, especially if court proceedings are required. We work efficiently while ensuring your claim is thoroughly prepared.
What if I can't afford legal fees?
We work on a no win, no fee basis for most medical negligence claims. This means you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful. We'll explain all costs and funding options in your free initial consultation.
