If you’ve been harmed due to medical negligence, you can trust our dedicated Melbourne lawyers to fight for justice on your behalf. The aftermath of a personal injury caused by someone else’s negligence can be devastating – even more so when it’s been caused by a medical practitioner – someone you trusted to take care of your health.
Medical malpractice claims can result in physical pain, delayed recovery and financial strains. Then, the emotional turmoil and feelings of disappointment or betrayal often come with this sort of experience, which can be overwhelming. While it may seem harrowing to pursue compensation amidst recovery, early action is vital for peace of mind because strict time limits apply to make a claim.
Unfortunately, a wide range of experiences lead to people seeking a medical negligence claim. Some of the claims we commonly work with are:

Doctors, dentists, hospital staff, chiropractors, chemists and other medical providers do make mistakes. Medical negligence is an extensive area that can include failing to diagnose, misdiagnoses, errors with surgery or post-surgical care, errors relating to medication, failure to obtain proper consent, and the like.
A claim may arise if you believe you have been injured due to your medical provider’s lack of care or failure to properly inform and provide all information about your treatment (especially information about the associated risks) or properly obtain your consent. A medical negligence lawyer will help you gather the necessary documents and evidence and ensure you are aware of your options when making a medical negligence compensation claim.

Medical treatment is complex. To successfully claim, it is necessary to show that your medical provider has been negligent, that is, did not act reasonably and breached their duty of care to you. Your injury must have resulted from the negligence of a medical professional and be severe enough to meet the appropriate thresholds, which vary from State to State.
Accordingly, it is necessary to have expert knowledge and understanding in this area. Many law firms do not have the experience and will not deal with these matters because they are “too hard”. At National Compensation Lawyers (NCL), we have the appropriate expertise and determination. We have access to an extensive list of medical experts to enable us to determine whether your medical provider has been negligent and whether you meet the threshold.
Given the time periods for making a claim, the need to establish negligence and to ensure your injury meets the appropriate threshold, we recommend you contact National Compensation Lawyers urgently and speak to a lawyer about your circumstances. We will:
Compensation can be claimed for physical, psychological and financial loss. It can include past and future medical expenses, nursing and attendant care costs, rehabilitation and support costs, past and future loss of earnings, lump sum compensation and an award for pain and suffering.
Time limits apply to medical negligence claims, which vary from State to State. Accordingly, we encourage you to contact a National Compensation Lawyer to obtain appropriate advice urgently.
If a family member has passed away as a result of inadequate or improper medical treatment, a dependent may have further compensation entitlements available.
Given the time periods for making a claim, the need to establish negligence and to ensure your injury meets the appropriate thresholds, we recommend you contact National Compensation Lawyers as soon as possible to understand your rights and entitlements.
The first steps of the legal process include:
Your compensation entitlement is dependent on the extent of your injury. You can claim for physical, psychological and financial loss. Compensation can include past and future medical and hospital expenses, nursing and attendant care, rehabilitation and support costs, past and future loss of earnings, lump sum compensation, and an award for pain and suffering.
In medical negligence matters, assuming you can establish your injuries were caused by negligent medical treatment provided, you may be entitled to claim compensation for:
Medical providers must take reasonable care of their patients and provide care levels up to an expected standard. If they fail, and this failure causes or contributes to an injury, then the patient may have a compensation claim. It is essential to understand that medical treatment is complex. Not all errors or injuries arise from negligence.
The injury you suffer needs to meet a certain threshold. Each state has different thresholds. We recommend you contact a National Compensation Lawyer to obtain details in this regard.
Yes, each state has set time limits for lodging claims. In Victoria, for example, a person has three years to lodge a claim. In certain exceptional situations, a Court can extend the period for lodging a claim. However, we do not recommend you take a chance in this regard. Please contact National Compensation Lawyers urgently.
In medical negligence claims it is normal for health insurers, Medicare, and Centrelink to have made payments. When settling claims, these payments need to be considered and repaid. National Compensation Lawyers will explain this process in greater depth to ensure you have no hidden costs.
