Medical Negligence

Doctors and nurses do an amazing job, but sometimes things go wrong.

If you have suffered as a result of a doctor’s or hospital’s medical negligence or malpractice in Newcastle, Sydney, or elsewhere in NSW – either in delaying or failing to diagnose a condition, incorrectly diagnosing you, or if you have suffered an adverse outcome following surgery, our lawyers can advise if you have an entitlement to claim.

Time limits apply and it can be difficult to work out when a time limit commences to run, especially in cases involving treatment over a period of time. So, don’t wait.

Doctors and nurses do an amazing job, but sometimes things go wrong.

These cases are complex and it is important to find a lawyer who is not only able to advise you as to the law, but who understands medical conditions and the difficult medical aspects of your case.
